Happy Birthday Dario! Send him a message at dario ät toptotop.org
The TOPtoTOP Project visited various schools in Samoa in 2007. Please see the PDF from before and after the tsunami !
Instead of presents, Dario likes that you donate to an aid program organized by Swiss Consular and Rotarian Marco Kappenberger in Samoa. Here his message to Dario:
“Lieber Dario
Ja, es ist kaum möglich, eine Liste von bestimmtern Sachen die Benötigt werden zu erstellen. Wegen der Distanz und der so tragischen Situation ist es eher so dass die einzige praktische Möglichkeit der Unterstützung Geld ist, damit wir hier optimal den benachteiligsten Opfer in echt rotarischer Art helfen können. Jede Spende geht 100% and die Opfer. Ich zahle selber z.B. alle meine Erkundungs- und Verteilungskosten auf der anderen Inselseite.
Herzlichst, Marco mit Maria Ines”

On the 20th of November 2009 TOPtoTOP Foundation is 10 years old. Please join us next summer from the 7th to the 15th of August for the “10th anniversary camp” in the Engiadine Valley, Switzerland. This camp is great for the whole family! We do glacier hikes, easy rock climbing, dinghy sailing on the lake and much more…like on the Global TOPtoTOP Expedition. We stay on the campground in Maloja. You can also join us for a day.
Please note that we are still looking for people participating for our biggest event this year: “Clean up Everest”. We are still looking for volunteers to join us to trek from Lucla to Everest Base Camp between the 6th and 14th of April. Further we are looking for skilled climbers helping us to clean also above base camp up to the TOP!
Do not forget to bay the magazine “Schweizer Familie” mid November. You will find a great article in there!
