Good friend of MEP, James Browne will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania later this year to raise money and awareness for MEP. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, and is considered the tallest freestanding Mountain in the world. He will be flying from London to Nairobi on the 16th December, and on the 17th December he will start his 7 day trek at the base of the mountain. Go James! He will be taking the longer but more scenic Lemosho route, and will be spending Christmas Day many many many metres above sea level. Climbing 6000m in one week to the snow topped cap of an (inactive) volcano is no small feat, and all of us here at MEP are hugely grateful to James for undertaking such an incredible conquest for us. We all wish him the very best of luck with his trip, and will remain in close contact with him over the autumn and winter months leading up to his departure. Keep an eye on our page for any further developments. In the meantime, James has set up a JustGiving page so please dig deep and sponsor him on his Kilimanjaro adventure.

Last month, MEP held its first Art Exhibition and Auction at The Arts House in Stokes Croft, Bristol. The exhibition ran for two weeks with the pieces being auctioned off on a Friday night, with a backdrop of brilliant tunes selected by Mr Jim and J Deaks. The event held a mixture of work by Malawian artists, as well as artists from Bristol and the UK. Many Malawian pieces were sold on the night by MEP friends Isaac and Tony, as well as artwork from the UK by Ian Boyd Walker, Alex Bertram Powell and Fran Williams to name but a few. MEP would like to thank all of the artists and DJ's involved in the event, as well as Leigh from the Tunnadine gallery who did such an amazing job of framing the Malawian pieces for us. Special thanks to Wack for all of his time and effort which made the night possible. Keep an eye out for another art auction in early 2011.
