Due to the postponement of the elections in Kenya to March 2013, the HOCHHINAUS Kilimanjaro Expedition is postponed until further notice.
With her "Liseli" (Landrover), which Ruth Schäfer had previously repaired with her own hands in her home, we drove up to the hospital in the mountains of Kasambara-Gilgil with excitement and mixed feelings.
From the expedition "Hochhinaus 2012" we received almost daily moving pictures of the ascent of Kilimanjaro. Cameraman Lothar Becker captured a wide variety of scenes. Benjamin Pipa and his Swiss-Film team produced moving videos. A big thank you goes to them for the impressive impressions.
On Saturday, March 24, the third expedition "Hochhinaus" starts for the benefit of the Rhine Valley Hospital in Kenya. A 28-member team takes on the challenge of conquering the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro exerts a great fascination on many people. Once you have stood on the "Roof of Africa", you will never forget the experience and wish to take on the challenge again.

Ruth Schäfer is a member of the board of directors of Rhein-Valley-Hospital, based in Altstätten, in the St.Gallen Rhine Valley. She is the woman who has dedicated her life with skin and hair to the hospital project and thus to the people in Kasambara-Gilgil, in Kenya.
This is a 2nd report from Corinne Jeker, who is currently working at Rhein-Valley Hospital: Time flies and it so happens that I have already been working at the hospital for more than two months. I am still fascinated and every day is an experience.
