Help SUMMITS WITH A PURPOSE by Angelique, Mark Reedy and Saray Khumalo for Building the next digital library for future leaders
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Angelique and Mark Reedy are gearing up for #Trek4Education25, training rigorously with Summits With A Purpose. They'll join a multinational team of women, led by the inspiring Saray Khumalo, to summit Mount Kilimanjaro on Women's Day 2025. This annual expedition, kicking off on August 3rd with the summit planned for August 9th, isn't just about reaching Africa's highest peak. Every step taken on this trek is dedicated to a powerful cause: raising funds to build and equip digital libraries in underprivileged communities across South Africa and the wider continent. By establishing digital libraries, we're not just providing books; we're opening up a world of knowledge with 24/7 access to vast online resources, e-books, educational apps, and multimedia content. This approach empowers students with modern learning tools, bridging the digital divide and ensuring continuous access to information, regardless of their physical location or traditional library hours. Through the power of digital education, this initiative aims to change the narrative for the next generation, offering them a brighter future filled with knowledge and opportunity.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
