Xavier Saer’s appointment is highly fitting as he is an experienced adventure photographer and has experience climbing mountains such as in the Andes of Peru and the Himalayas.
Now in its 7th year, the 2018 Trek4Mandela will celebrate Nelson Mandela’s Centenary. The annual Trek4Mandela is an initiative that aims to raise enough funds to ensure that 500 000 South African schoolgirls will not miss a day of school as a result of menstrual challenges. The Trek is carried out in support of Caring4Girls, which assists schoolgirls by providing them with sanitary towels.
“Once I read what Caring4Girls were doing, I was sold on the idea. We are not just climbing for ourselves, we are raising awareness about a massive issue that occurs on a monthly basis across the world, especially here,” shares Xavier Saer.
