Azerbaijan - the Columbus Challenge
In 1998, I led an HSBC-sponsored project that:
- Created a computer centre and English language school in Azerbaijan
- Fitted out a computer centre in a city centre school in Birmingham
- Climbed mountains in Azerbaijan and the UK
- Raised GBP 140,000
- Got a colleague and me on the radio, and the team on TV
- Involved a VERY hairy man volunteering to undergo a full body wax!
Read on to find out what we did and how we did it.
