Patrons attending a charity event organised by the Kilimanjaro Challege Team IV on Saturday will be treated to a candlelit three-course dinner under the stars on the St Barbara Bastion in Valletta. There will also be live music to complement the meal.

After months of hard training, the 14 members of the Kilimanjaro Challenge Team IV are in the final stages of prepar- ation for their mission.

They will be flying to Africa at the end of August, where they will spend a week climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, one of Africa's highest peaks and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,891 metres.

Their aim is to raise €65,000 to subsidise the first phase of the construction of an orphanage for children whose parents have contracted or died of AIDS in Nyamonge, close to the Kisumu municipality in Kenya.

Bookings for the event can be made by calling 7986 2847, 7942 4656 and 7923 8269. For more information about the Kilimanjaro Challenge and for donations visit www.kilichallenge.com.
