We set off on 9 October…
…towards Solukhumbu. Unfortunately, some of the roads were still impassable. Parts of the road were missing after last year’s floods, and the alternative route through the riverbed was impassable due to the current water level. So we flew to Janakpur and took a jeep to Solu from there. Many thanks to my team, who always find a solution for everything.

Once a year ..
.. sitting down together at one table is fun and also very productive. We reflect on the past months together and prepare the next steps. Even though we see each other online every week, there is still a lot to discuss. Many thanks to our wonderful team, which has been steadily supporting the project for years. This means that all sponsors can be sure that their donations are having an impact. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation and Fair Styria, whose support makes this work possible.

Where are the days …
when the monsoon in Nepal reliably ended in mid-September? Heavy rain, the rivers are rising again, the airport and public transport are repeatedly suspended. The subsequent sunshine triggers further landslides. ‘Our highway’ towards Solukhumbu was closed on 4 October 2025 until further notice due to landslides and flooding. So once again, it is uncertain whether, when and how we will be able to drive to the villages. https://kathmandupost.com/province-no-3/2025/10/05/landslide-risk-persists-along-chitwan-kathmandu-road

In 2007..
..I flew to Nepal for the first time and was impressed by the approach. Almost 20 years and what feels like a million aeroplane photos later, the approximately 30th approach is still impressive. Today, I associate it not only with scenic beauty but also with an inkling of the challenges this country faces. I am looking forward to a good time with our Nepalese team. Thank you to all the sponsors who have made our work possible for 12 years now.
