Have you ever been told to "go climb a rock"? Oklahoma City lawyer Randy Grau has, and that's just what he's going to do.

Mr. Grau, the Second Deputy County Commissioner for Oklahoma County's District 3, will leave soon on what he sees as "the journey of a lifetime" -- climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. But Grau won't be making the 19,340 foot climb just for kicks, but for KICS - the Kigali International Community School (KICS) in Kigali, Rwanda.

The school, established in 2006 in the Rwandan capital, was begun in order to meet a need for an education option for missionary families and aid workers who are assisting the government in their efforts to rebuild after the 1994 genocide that took nearly one million lives. KICS partnered with Oklahoma City-based Rwanda Outreach and Community (ROC) Foundation and is part of the ROC Education Center.

Grau plans on starting his fund-raising climb August 7^th with the hopes of being one of the few climbers to reach the summit - a goal only a third of climbers actually achieve. Good luck, Randy.
