WHITE SENTINEL CHARITY CLIMB

A quest to reach the summit of Mt. Aconcagua, meaning “White Sentinel” in the indigenous language, to raise charity funds for the Spanish homeless. The mountain is 6.962 m.a.s.l., located in the Andes range in Argentina, and is the highest mountain in the world outside the Himalayas. The goal is to raise 5.000 € towards the purchase of a 60.000 € Red Cross mobile health center that covers the health and hygiene needs of the homeless all over the Alicante province in Spain.

Donations from freemasons to the charity climb

I have lately received very generous donations from the freemasons in the Valencian region, more specifically from the Steward's Lodge no. 154 and the San Juan Lodge no. 28. From these fine institutions I have received 500,- euros and 220,- euros respectively.

The newly elect master of San Juan no. 28, WM Ian Holness, has even decided to dedicate the funds to be raised in next meeting's raffle, the 100th meeting at 26th of November 2013, to the White Sentinel Charity Climb.

This goes to show that freemasons are generous people who have charity close to heart.

Results from raffle in Cafe Pavarotti

Dear friends and sponsors of White Sentinel Charity Climb

At the 12th of October 2013, there was held an anniversary celebration at Cafe Pavarotti in Albir. Aproximately 70 people showed up. Mr. Thomas Ronning used this occasion to promote the White Sentinel Charity Climb, and explained the details of the climb to the guests. Afterwards there was a raffle, and the proceeds of the raffle were given to the White Sentinel Charity Climb. The total was 602,- euros.

First of all, I must thank very much Marianne and Tom and Aktuelt Spania for all help with my charity climb, and secondly thank all of the guests invited who showed themselves especially simpathetic to the climb and this cause, and very generous. Thank you all.
