Benefit Lecture at Karlsgymnasium

Once again, the widely traveled geography teacher Eduard Spielbauer supported the Karakoram Aid Initiative with a benefit lecture. On November 26, 2025, he spoke about his experiences in sub-Saharan Africa.
Many thanks for his commitment.

Benefit Event with Filmmaker Stefan Erdmann

For the second time, development aid worker Antonie Lindner from Neuhofen was able to enlist Chiemgau filmmaker Stefan Erdmann for a benefit event. With his impressive documentary on Iceland, he took the audience on a journey through spectacular landscapes.
The proceeds from the evening at the Sparkasse Eggenfelden’s event hall will benefit the children in the mountain villages of the Braldo Valley—a heartfelt project that Antonie Lindner has been supporting with great dedication for several years.

Laura Dahlmeier

We deeply regret the death of Laura Dahlmeier, who lost her life due to rockfall while attempting to climb Leila Peak in the Karakoram. Her expedition was organized by Shipton Treks & Tours, an agency founded by us as a self-help project of the Karakoram Aid Initiative.
The photo was taken shortly before the group set off for the Baltoro Glacier. Laura is on the far left, Rasool in the center of the image.

Charity Run 2025

On July 14 and 15, this year’s charity run—now a firmly established part of the school year—took place at the Karlsgymnasium Bad Reichenhall. Around 730 members of the school community completed a total of 12,750 laps in Karlspark. We were supported by the companies Früchte Maier (Piding), who provided bananas, and Biotheaque (Bernau), who supplied tea for the runners.
Many thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful event.

Benefit Lecture by Alexander Huber

On March 8, Alexander Huber presented his multi-vision talk “Time to Breathe” at the Pfarrkirchen Town Hall.

Part of the proceeds will go to the Karakoram Aid Project.
We would like to thank everyone involved.
