2019/03: Youth in Choglamsar Benefit from Hockey Equipment Donation

Coll­ec­tion Cam­paign Completed

Through this coll­ec­tion cam­paign, the asso­cia­ti­on sup­ports sports acti­vi­ties for stu­dents from the Sen­ge La regi­on in Chog­lam­sar, loca­ted in the nor­t­hern Indi­an Himalayas.

Well-pre­ser­ved ice skates and hockey equip­ment rea­dy to be sent to Ladakh

Appro­xi­m­ate­ly 80 kg of equip­ment was han­ded over last week to Sonam Dor­je, the head of trai­ning. Sonam also recei­ved valuable tips “all about the ice” from Wal­ter Wid­mai­er. On behalf of the stu­dents, the board and the local pro­ject coor­di­na­tors would like to express their heart­felt thanks.

2019/01: Hockey Equip­ment Coll­ec­tion Campaign

The asso­cia­ti­on is coll­ec­ting ice skates (sizes 37 to 41), hel­mets, gloves, as well as sticks and pads for stu­dents from the Sen­ge La regi­on in Ladakh.

During the col­dest sea­son of the year, schools in Lad­akh have win­ter holi­days. During this time, win­ter clas­ses aim to offer stu­dents addi­tio­nal lear­ning oppor­tu­ni­ties and help school lea­vers prepa­re for their final exams.

This year, around 100 stu­dents from the Sen­ge La regi­on will attend win­ter clas­ses in Chog­lam­sar. As an addi­tio­nal acti­vi­ty, the pro­gram coor­di­na­tors would like to offer the stu­dents a win­ter sports experience.

At the initia­ti­ve of Sonam Dor­je, the head of trai­ning, a natu­ral ice rink was built in front of the school. The per­sis­t­ent­ly free­zing tem­pe­ra­tures are per­fect for it.

Last sum­mer, the association’s pre­si­dent, Tru­di Vetsch, brought ice skates and hel­mets to Lad­akh at the request of the local pro­ject lea­der. Ice ska­ting spark­ed such gre­at enthu­si­asm among the stu­dents that the asso­cia­ti­on was asked once again to coll­ect hockey equipment.

Sup­port ice ska­ting and hockey for youth. You’ll be pro­vi­ding stu­dents with a win­ter sports acti­vi­ty that brings not only fun and joy but also offers a valuable balan­ce during their win­ter studies.

Equip­ment can be drop­ped off at the ice rink in Schiers from Janu­ary 24 to Febru­ary 3, 2019. Plea­se make sure the items are clean and in good condition.

Thank you for your sup­port — and a warm Juley from the heart.
