Mother of pupil reaches Kilimanjaro summit

info@camphillaberdeen.org.uk — 2010-08-12T11:42:24+01:00

Jane Riach, mother of a pupil at Camphill School Aberdeen, has successfully conquered the summit of Kilimanjaro to raise money for a new Therapy Centre at the school.

Jane, who lived in Zimbabwe until she moved to the UK nine years ago, climbed Kilimanjaro – described as the world’s highest free-standing mountain – with three friends, raising £4,100 for the new therapy centre at her daughter's school.

"Just to let you know that I am back after successfully reaching the top of Mount Kilimanjaro almost 19000 feet of it! It was such a wonderful experience and will treasure every minute of it," Jane said in her message after the climb. "I have raised just over £4100.00 for the new therapy centre. This has gone way over the original target I had of £1500!."

Before she left, Jane explained her reasons for risking altitude sickness to raise money for the new therapy centre.

"This project is very close to my heart, as my youngest daughter Lauren attends Camphill School Aberdeen," Jan explained.
“Camphill School Aberdeen is an absolute godsend for families who have children with special needs. I have peace-of-mind knowing that Lauren is in such a caring place with such wonderful people. When Lauren is at the school I can focus on my other two children and appreciate the time we have with Lauren even more.”

"I have seen Lauren blossom in her own little happy way. She senses that she is loved and cared for, and this helps with her slow but steady progress. The patience and commitment that the co-workers in the community provide, has given Lauren and my family a lifeline, and a reassurance of hope and comfort."

Kilimanjaro is described as the world's highest free-standing mountain and Africa's biggest at 5,895 metres (19,341 feet). Climbing it takes six to seven days and, apart from the rigours of the climb, most people suffer some degree of altitude sickness.

Camphill School Aberdeen is one of seven Camphill centres in Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire. In all, more than 700 people live and work in Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire communities.
