With her, she brings heartwrenching and inspirational stories.

The main aim the trip to Africa was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro - for herself and to help a village school at the foot of the Tanzanian mountain.

“I wanted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for myself, I think you need to pack in everything that you can in your life and when you go on holidays you need to see and experience as much as possible,” Ms Bearman said.

“Hundreds of people use it as a fundraiser and I thought we could to, I researched a lot about the area when I knew that I was going to do the climb and decided to help out one of the schools that needed some help.”

The eventual benefactor - Nduweni Primary School - houses 417 school aged children with only nine teachers.

The school does not have many classrooms and children have to learn outdoors in the morning waiting for a classroom to be empty for the afternoon classes.

Some of the children walk about 25 kilometres to and from school each day and the head teacher walks 20 kilometres in his pristine suit.

Ms Bearmans donation of $3,800 American dollars will help finish a building for teachers to live in, meaning they can hire more.

“There are a lot of school teachers in Tanzania but not enough classrooms and living quarters for them.”

“There is no electricity in the classrooms,” she said.

The cost of building a small home to house three teachers cost three million shillings and with the help of an Adelaide Rotary Club, Ms Bearman would like to keep working on building projects for the school in the near future.

Ms Bearman said, “The mantra in Tanzania is that education leads to employment and that breaks the poverty cycle, education or perish, employment or perish, it is as simple as that.”

“The people are really beautiful and they are so grateful, when I arrived all the children were welcoming me in song and they gave me a traditional gown called a Kanga.”
