MTV will air a documentary on the “Summit on the Summit” Celebrity Charity Climb of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania on March 14 at 9:00 p.m. The project was initiated by award-winning rap star, Kenna, to focus world attention on the need for clean water in developing countries. The team, including fellow celebrities Lupe Fiasco, a musician and the actors Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch, successfully summited Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest Mountain, at 19,340 feet. This mission carried a personal significance for Kenna as his family was affected by water-borne illnesses in Ethopia. At the end of their summit, Kenna was greeted at the Arusha Coffee Lodge by Tanzania Tourism officials headed by Mr. Edward Kishe, Acting Director, Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA). Mr. Kishe thanked the Celebrities, stating “Tanzania is honored that Kenna and the ‘Summit on the Summit’ team selected a Kilimanjaro climb as the vehicle to focus world attention on the critical need for clean water in so many countries, including villages here in Tanzania.” In a statement to the press, Kenna offered his thanks to the people of Tanzania for their warm hospitality and specifically thanked H.E. President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, the Hon Shamsa Mwangunga, Minister of Natural Resources & Tourism and her staff, the Tanzania Tourist Board, Tanzania National Parks , the Tanzanian Embassy in the United States, and all of the guides and porters from Thomson Safaris, the award-winning ground operator for the climb, for all of their support and assistance.
