Regards
Babu Sherpa (Managing Director) Babu Chiri Sherpa,
had a dream, not to Summit
Everest in 16 hours, or to sleep the night on the
Summit. He had done both. His dream was to build a
school for his six daughters in his small village in
Nepal. You see Babu "never saw the door of a
school". He learned to read, but from his own
studies. He wanted a better life for his daughters than
frankly having them carry someone else's gear up
Everest. Let's help
him build it today !!!!
