Page information:

I am climbing mount Kilimanjaro on July 25th for the first time. I know that this trip is going to challenge me physically and mentally. I have read and heard other peoples' experiences, it is still a very unknown experience to me.

I am training to reach the summit on July 31st, my main motivation is my son and my fundraising campaign to support educating girls in Afghanistan through The Womanity Foundation. My goal is to raise $6000 which will provide 12 schools of approximately 24,000 students, with their stationery supply for 2 years.

I am a strong believer that we will see world peace through empowering women, they are raising the next generation and they are the most powerful and influential element on their children's beliefs and behavior. A person who is loved in his/her family, cannot harm another being. Education is one of the most important areas to empower women. My focus is on the Middle East and less privileged countries who need extra attention. Any donation means a world to me and to all those girls who need your support.

The Challenge:

My challenge is to climb mount Kilimanjaro this month for the first time. Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and It is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 metres or 19,341 feet above sea level.

We are leaving Dubai on July 25th and the climb will start on the 26th. Our summit day is on July 31st and we will be back to Dubai on August 2nd.

Date: 25 July 2014

Location: Kilimanjaro

Funds collected are delivered to the beneficiary charity

Page Owner

Mona Tavassoli

My name is Mona Tavassoli, I am on a journey to find inner peace, and see the reflection of it in the outer world.

I have a 3 year old son, Ryan. I have realized the power of motherhood since Ryan was born and it is fascinating to me when he comes back to me with all that he learns from us. Our beliefs and emotions as parents have direct influence on our kids.

My activities are focused on 3 areas:

1) Self Enlightenment: The change starts from each of us, self-improvement is the first step.

2) Women's Empowerment: Women play a vital role in our society, specially mothers who raise the next generation. Their happiness will improve their children's, family's, community's and society's wellbeing.

3) Exploration: We expand our horizon and fall in love with the places and the people that we visit. I am a strong believer in the power of human connection.

I am the founder of www.momsouq.com and www.mompreneurs.me . I love traveling and experiencing new things in life.
