At ALPIN LOACKER, we are not only passionate outdoor enthusiasts, but also proud supporters of inspiring projects. Today we want to tell you about our exciting partnership with Golden Goal Biking.
These two brave guys, Felix Michalski from Mannheim and Fabian Dudas from Stuttgart, have set themselves an impressive goal: To travel through 25 countries by bicycle in one year to build a school in Nepal with the help of the organization 264.education .
The adventure is set to go from August 2023 to July 2024.
The Golden Goal: Education for a Better Future
Felix and Fabian from Golden Goal Biking have an ambitious goal in mind: the expansion of the New Marigold Secondary Boarding School in Nepal.
This school currently offers classrooms for grades 1-8, but the two adventurers want to enable additional classrooms for grades 9-10.
Education is the key to a better future, and they want to ensure that all children have the same opportunities.
The Story of Felix and Fabian:
Felix Michalski and Fabian Dudas met during their studies and share many common interests, including
- sports (including football),
- photography and videography
- as well as traveling.
The name "Golden Goal" comes from football and symbolizes the decisive goal.
For Felix and Fabian, Golden Goal means, however, to decisively help and make a contribution to a better future.
The journey by bicycle is not only an incredible experience for her, but also an opportunity to connect her passion for sports and adventure with her goal of building a school in Nepal.
Why are Felix and Fabian doing this?
The motivation of Felix and Fabian is deeply rooted in the belief that education is the foundation for sustainable development and social justice.
Worldwide, about 264 million children do not have access to education. Golden Goal Biking wants to contribute to reducing this number and provide better educational opportunities for disadvantaged children and children in rural areas.
Through their journey and fundraising, they aim not only to support the New Marigold School but also to raise awareness of the importance of education.
Nepal: A country with challenges in the education system
Nepal is a beautiful country, but also one of the poorest countries in the world. About a quarter of the Nepalese population lives below the national poverty line, leading to inadequate access to education.
Many children have only limited future prospects due to poverty and social challenges. Especially in rural areas, there is a lack of adequate infrastructure and economic opportunities.
The role of 264.education: Together for a better future
264.education is a dedicated team of
- entrepreneurs,
- business consultants,
- growth strategists
- and students,
who dedicate their free time to building schools in developing countries. They are the partner of Golden Goal Biking in building the New Marigold School.
