On your Sled, Ready, Steady Go!
You are dreaming about a dog
sled adventure in Scandinavia?
Here you are!
Polar 2013: One 4-Seasons reader taking
part.
At the Fjällräven Polar in April 2013, twenty
dog sleds will again slide from Signaldalen
in Norway to Swedish Lapland – 330
kilometres in five days. Each participant
will steer their own sled, take care of the
animals and experience a late-winter outdoor
dream. Part of the adventure is camping
in the snow, sitting around a warm
camp fire and probably spending nights
under the Northern Lights.
4-Seasons took part in the last Fjällräven
Polar last spring and will tell you the whole
story in the next issue which is due at the
beginning of November. You will also get to
know how you could get into this adventure.
4-Seasons has one place for Fjällräven
Polar 2013 to give away exclusively to
one of our readers.
You can take part from mid November. App-
ly online and find all the information on
their website: fjallraven.de.

Hiking in Guatemala can be good
for you and street children.
Globetrotter supports the aid
project with equipment.
Walking across Guatemala’s fascinating
volcanoes, crossing tropical forests and
lively valleys: The organisation Quetzaltrekkers
has been offering international hiking
tours since 1995. The guides are from all
over the world, too, working voluntarily. The
proceeds of the guided tours are for the
children. The Edelac association, financed
through Quetzaltrekkers, runs a school in
the city Quetzaltenango, offering a school
education to around 200 children from
poor backgrounds. Many of the school-leav-

ers who come from a broken home or have
lived on the streets now found a job as a
carpenter or teacher and have started their
own family. Part of the aid project is not
only the school but also a house (El Hogar)
where children and young people are looked
after and receive advice from drug rehabilitation
to family planning. Some street
children stay at El Hagor for a longer time.
Participants of the trekking tour can rent
their gear on the spot. Here, Globetrotter
gets into the game: »It is an exciting project
and we are happy to provide the
equipment«, explains Irish Tews, responsible
for Globetrotter’s sponsoring.
Brand-new sleeping bags, backpacks,
crockery and cutlery are on their way to
the Quetzaltrekkers.
