Message from Pendaeli the head guide:
"Jambo from Pofu Camp. We are doing well. Wageni (guests) are strong and the weather is fantastic."

| Pendaeli, the head guide on the trek, with David Still. |
Today's trek was 5-7 hours, up expansive ridge lines and then back down to Pofu (translating to "eland" in Swahili) camp, to sleep at an elevation slightly lower than yesterday's camp. "Climb high and sleep low" is the recipe for healthy acclimatization.

While the trekkers get their rest anticipating another 5-7 hours of hiking tomorrow, let's hear more from Amari about the Mufindi Orphan's Project.
While the primary intention of the Mufindi Mountaineers challenge is aimed at raising funds to improve the quality of healthcare in the community, thereby preventing more children from being orphaned (see Gary's comprehensive post), education is also an important part of the daily, on-the-ground work. Learn more in the next post!
