2017/05: The project is taking shape

The asso­cia­ti­on “Edu­ca­ti­on for Adults in Lad­akh — Hima­la­ya” was set up in Janu­ary 2017. The asso­cia­ti­on meets all requi­re­ments for exemp­ti­on from taxes accor­ding to the pro­vi­si­ons of Artic­le 78 para­graph 1 lit. f StG. and Artic­le 56 lit. g DBG. The asso­cia­ti­on, with its seat in Schiers, will the­r­e­fo­re be taken up in the Can­to­nal list con­cer­ning tax deduc­ti­bi­li­ty of vol­un­t­a­ry donations.

Pro­mi­se of co-operation
The con­sul­tant of “Lad­akh Auto­no­mous Hill Deve­lo­p­ment Coun­cil, Leh” respon­si­ble, Sonam Dor­je, has, on request of the asso­cia­ti­on, gua­ran­teed future co-ope­ra­ti­on. The let­ter is available in the Docu­ments section.

Plea­sant anticipation
Pre­pa­ra­ti­ons for the next trip are going full speed ahead and Tru­di Vetsch is great­ly loo­king for­ward to the four-week trip in June. A report will fol­low after her return.

Vol­un­teer work in July
A stu­dent from the Chur area will be car­ry­ing out vol­un­teer work in the vil­la­ge of Yulch­ung this year. Her mis­si­on is a vol­un­t­a­ry social com­mit­ment. This will abo­ve all con­cern the reli­ef of the strain on the fami­lies and on the vil­la­ge school.
