In 2015, a Rotary team of mountain climbers from Colorado invited Chef John to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,300 feet) in January 2016 to support AfricAid, a leadership program for Tanzanian women. 

Following up a prior request from Sister Agnes, Chef John proposed to visit her in Kakamega, Kenya and observe possible program site(s) for future Diabetes Free training for the nuns at her Convent.

In 2016, Chef John traveled to Nairobi, Kenya. He did not get to meet with Sister Agnes, as this was not an ideal time for her to meet. She did say a water well is needed for the school in Kakamega, Kenya. 

Before Diabetes Free training is offered in Kenya, Sister Agnes needs funding for a tube well for the St. Joseph school in Kakamega. Evergreen Rotary funded a prior water well for The Plaster House.

In Tanzania, Chef John met Marie, Executive Director of AfricAid (US), and visited two boarding schools that teach career skills to girls, who left home to go to school instead of being 13 year-old brides.

After team training we began a six day plus 17 hour climb/decent.   AfricAid KISA graduates and mentors joined ten Americans  with SENE guides, cooks and porters. Curt Harris, a Colorado Rotarian and prior Kilimanjaro climber, led the 2016 team.
