The founder of the travel company “Berge & Meer” (Mountains & Sea) realised his lifelong dream of travelling the world in a small aircraft after selling the company. He combined this journey with his goal of building or promoting schools on all the continents he visited and establishing one hundred schools worldwide – long-term.
Both the “FLY & HELP” claim “Education for everyone” as well as the reference to the UN resolution emphasise the right to education and the unity of all people.

Everything started when Reiner Meutsch spoke to the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Westerwald-Lahn, Germany) about his “FLY & HELP” project in 2009. His plan to travel around the world to promote education and his personal integrity convinced everyone present.

A few days later, on 15th October, Achim Kunst read an article about the alternative Nobel Prize, wich was the catalyst and inspiration for the “MIND AWARD”.
