In order to raise money for charity VSO, Accenture employees from across the globe are engaged in one of the greatest challenges of their lifes, a sponsored climb up Africa’s highest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro! Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world, it takes 6 days to reach its top, and temperatures can be as low as -25C degrees.
CRM service line collegues Sandra van Maarseveen and Hanneke ten Hove will join the Global Kilimanjaro Challenge 2008. Start donating! It is simple, just jump to http://www.justgiving.com/sponsordekilichallenge, click the button ‘Sponsor me now’ and follow the process steps. Thank you in advance!

VSO is a leading development charity with almost 1,500 skilled professionals currently working in over 34 countries. VSO’s unique approach to international development is founded on volunteers, working together and with local communities to fight poverty and achieve lasting change.

The possible impact of this action can be huge. For example: only € 325,- helps a VSO volunteer to train 20 local teachers in special teaching methods and in the management of Special Needs Units in Kenya in order to support children with disabilities.
