Description

Actions speak louder than words. For 3 generations the Family of Sir Edmund Hillary have been giving back, building schools, hospitals and medical clinics in the Mt Everest region. Inspiring.

"Giving back is part of the Hillary tradition, and in particular, giving back to the Sherpa people who make all Everest expeditions possible."

Thanks Peter and A. for continuing the tradition and leading by example.

PS Peter tells a great story about bringing a satellite phone along to Mt. Everest to do an innovative radio interview from the Summit. As he began the arduous final climb the radio station asked him to delay his ascent by a couple of hours, so he could 'better reach morning listeners on their way to work." Clearly these folk had never been on Everest.
