A quick video that address the long lines to summit Mt. Everest
Friends, I'd (Tami) like to share some information with you regarding a wonderful organization that helps support the communities working on Mt. Everest. A dear friend of mine from college works year round fundraising to supply the Sherpa community with much needed resources. Below is information about this organization, and if you are so moved, a link to donate. Thank you! The Apa Sherpa Foundation (linked to website) APA SHERPA FOUNDATION'S MISSION IS TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF APA SHERPA IN OVERCOMING ADVERSITY.Apa Sherpa, Tiger of the Himalaya, was born in poverty and rose to become the greatest climber in the history of Mount Everest. Apa struggled greatly to obtain a modest education in his youth. In his pursuit of education, he worked diligently to provide for his family amidst difficult economic circumstances and today endeavors to provide the opportunities he never had to the next generation.
The Apa Sherpa Foundation seeks to build on Apa's legacy by laying the foundations of strength, starting with where they live in Apa's home village in Thame, Nepal, and then outwards from there.
With education and experience, individuals go on to lead strong families, communities and ultimately, nations. The Apa Sherpa Foundation embraces all methods, projects and groups working toward this goal.
