Back home in Amsterdam

Dear sponsors, dear friends of hike4education!

I made it: 251 km from Porto to Santiago de Compostella. I feel very happy and grateful.
First of all I want to thank all the sponsors who are helping me finance the High School studies of 59 great young people of NPH Guatemala. So far ( June 18) thanks to your incredible generosity hike4education 2013 raised Euro 8.104,- . Some more donations have been promised and together with the donation of a Dutch company we achieved a fantastic result. With this money 45 of the 59 High School students can study a whole year long.
Euro 6.650,- (for the remaining 14 students) is still missing, I will continue working on that.













Thank you Maarten Schuth for coaching my weblog!
Thank you my dear hiking companions Stefania, Peter and Carola for all your mental support and friendship.
Thank you PILGINO travel agency from Germany and especially Kerim, our guide, who organized daily WIFI access for me and solved all big and small problems.
Thank you WereldOuders in Hilversum for all your enthousiasme. You are a top team!
Last but not least a big hug for my husband for his never-ending inspiration and advice.
A big hug to all of you in Holland, Germany, the USA and Spain,
Beate
