Ben is walking the Four Days Marches at De 4Daagse from 16-19 July in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, to raise money for an animal shelter in Mongolia. These are badly needed!!! The picture below shows 12-year-old Aimen with a newborn cashmere goat. Aimen lives with her parents, brother, and grandfather in the Altai high mountains and at the shore of Lake Dayan. It is breathtakingly beautiful there and also very remote. Her father has horses, yaks, cashmere goats and sheep.
This year, it took such a long time before spring finally came! After Aimen’s picture was taken, there have been five intense cold spells, with up to four metres of snow falling. The area was declared a disaster area by the United Nations. Many animals have died and herdsmen families are threathend in their nomadic lifestyle. To save Aimen and her family from losing their livestock (and income), animal shelters are desperately needed.
Will you help Ben to fund an animal shelter and help Aimen’s animals and those of other families survive the winters? An animal shelter costs around 3,200 Euros. Ben can be sponsored by clicking the above link, or scanning the QR code via the articles provided below. It will give Ben extra motivation to keep up the 4x30km! Just do it!!!
For every Euro Ben has walked, Wilde Ganzen
adds 0.50 Euro, great isn’t it?
