Over the last three years, Dutch journalist Bernice Notenboom has concentrated on the climate change occurring in the Arctic and Antarctic. In 2009, she turned her attention to the climate of another area at great risk: the Himalayas, a range of the highest and most complex mountains in the world. On 28 March 2009, Bernice left for a two-month expedition to Nepal that would take her to the top of Mount Everest. In order to raise awareness of these major environmental problems, she decides to establish relations between children in Nepal and the Netherlands.
