In August 2016, the six mountaineers of the DAV Expedition Corps travelled to the Pamir, Tajikistan. Their way took them into the Shadzud Valley, a side valley of the Gunt in the region of Gorno-Badakshan. Tajikistan is one of the poorest countries in the world. On their way back, the women visited a Children’s Home in Rushan. The kids got warm jackets and hats. And the sponsors of the Expedition Corps are really doing all they can to help.
