Mr Josa pointed to Hadaa. “Yes Sir, it is in northern Tanzania,” she answered. “Good,” said Mr Josa. “What else N do you know about Mount Kilimanjaro?” A girl in the left corner stood up and said, “It has a snow cap at the top.” “Correct,” said Mr Josa. O “How many of you would like to climb Mount Kilimanjaro during the holidays?” asked Mr Josa. The whole class raised their hands. “That is R very good. But you will need money for transport, food and fees. You will also need money to buy boots, a back pack and warm clothes,” explained FO Mr Josa, as the pupils were listening carefully. “Do you understand?” asked Mr Josa. “Yes sir, we do,” they replied. “How much money is needed, sir?” asked Helena. “It will be 15,000/-.

One pupil stood up and said, “My parent will pay.” Another pupil stood up and said, “My parents will pay.” Almost all the pupils had the same reply. “Fine, you should pay the money within one month. Then I will arrange for the trip,” said Mr Josa. All the Standard Seven pupils paid the money before the end of the month. They also started to do physical exercises.
