May 2023: “America, the Beautiful – Exploring the Western USA.”
Barbara Hirschbichler gave a charity lecture and shared stories exclusively highlighting the beautiful side of America.
On May 24th, 2023, Barbara Hirschbichler gave a lecture at the Karlsgymnasium Bad Reichenhall titled “America, the Beautiful – Exploring the Western USA”. Half of the proceeds were donated to our organisation, while the other half were used to finance the Q12 prom.
The 2025 annual report will be available here shortly.
The review of 25 years of Karakoram Aid will be available here shortly.
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.
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.
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.
