The year 2014 ended in a completely new way for TEMAD.
Mr. Florin Madar participated in an expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), known as the “roof of Africa”.
At the expedition they 6 people participated, and Temad was represented by Florin Madar, Anca Madar (wife), Anda Madar (daughter).
Vf. Uhuru Peak – “conquered” by Temad has an altitude of 5895 m and the climb lasted 3 days.
Did you know that:
