Charity Run

July 2023: For several years now, the Karlsgymnasium at Bad Reichenhall has been organising a charity run.

Like at all previous charity runs, almost all students and some teachers participated. On July 11th and 12th, the participants collectively completed approximately 12,500 laps in Karlspark.

Himalaya-Karakorum e.V.

The non-profit organization supports people living in difficult conditions in the mountains of the Himalayas and Karakoram, on the edge of the settlement border and always on the edge of their livelihood. The aim is to help the villagers to survive in their ancestral homeland, based on the principle of helping people to help themselves. The primary goal is to ensure that our help will no longer be necessary in the foreseeable future.
