On the 11th of August we received the tragic news that our beloved Stanzin Tanfan died while kayaking on the Tsarap Chu River in his home in Ladakh, northern India. Stanzin was an amazing and humble human being. As a practicing Tibetan Buddhist he lived by those ancient values. One of them - refrain from taking life - was noticed by everyone who met him, since he didn’t kill any mosquitoes or horse flies but rescued bugs and insects that where in the river or in our water butts.

Stanzin had a huge impact on everyone he met and his legacy will live on and long.

He leaves behind a devastated wife and his young son of 3 years old, family both in Ladakh and Austria.

We have started this fund to help his wife and son back in his home region of Ladakh.
