Paving the way – a special occasion on January 12, 2024 in Schaffhausen
Last year, a group of five cyclists from four countries covered 600 kilometers in the thin air of the high Himalayas - to draw attention to the living conditions of the people who work at this altitude under sometimes difficult conditions and to raise funds for the projects of Himalayan Life to collect. We had the honor of making a film about this sponsored bike run. Many of our customers and friends have followed the project and support Himalayan Life.
Now the unique opportunity has arisen to organize a live event in Schaffhausen with Dani and Karin Bürgi, founders of Himalayan Life:

I/we are taking part in the information event on January 12, 2024:
At Himalayan Life, helping people to help themselves is not just a slogan, but rather a lived reality. The organization builds schools, organizes sporting events across caste divides, offers programs to get street children out of drugs, founded the first PET recycling plant in Nepal, and is working to give small farmers better prospects. It is always about pursuing a long-term vision to genuinely improve living conditions. The organization practically exclusively employs locals in Nepal and thus creates jobs and imparts know-how to Nepalis. We were enthusiastic about this approach. On January 12, 2024, you will receive first-hand information about how development cooperation really makes a difference and how donations are used efficiently and directly to improve the living conditions of many people, especially children.
