helps Nepal kids
reach greater heights

wife.
Sherpas are the first to
reach Everest each climb-
ing season and the last to
leave. They set up the
camps, carry the equip-
ment, and cook the food for
climbing parties. Most
importantly, they fix the
ropes and ladders over the
crevasses and icefalls that
enable mountaineers to
scale the peak.
The work has earned the
Sherpas prestige, as well as
income far above average
wages in Nepal.
Experienced guides like
Sherpa who take climbers
all the way to the top of
Everest make $10,000 or
more, while porters or
cooks at mountaineers’
camps average between
$3,000 and $5,000 during
their three months of work.
That’s a huge amount
compared to Nepal’s $1,035
annual per capita income.
Sherpa himself was able
to move to the U.S. state of
Utah in 2006 so that his
children could have a
better education.
But Sherpas also bear
the largest brunt of the
danger and death that go
hand-in-hand with the
industry. In 2014, 16
Sherpa guides were buried
by an avalanche on Everest
as they carried supplies.
The following year, another
10 were among those killed
when an earthquake trig-
gered an avalanche that
tore through Everest base
camp.
After the 2014 disaster,
Sherpas refused to work,
prompting the government
to introduce new rules for
better wages, increasing
insurance payouts, and im-
proving rescue operations
for Sherpas.
Sherpa himself had
many near misses, having
survived blizzards, frost-
bite, inadequate oxygen
supplies, and the deaths of
fellow mountaineers. Giv-
en a choice, he said, many
Sherpas would probably
never take up the work.
In the past few weeks,
members of his foundation
and trekkers have hiked to
six schools to drop off sup-
plies. They also distribute
supplies to monasteries. As
Buddhists, Sherpas often
send their children to live
and study at monasteries, a
tradition that also relieves
parents of the burden of
having to feed and educate
them at home.
In addition to making
sure children have access
to school, there is also the
issue of ensuring teachers
are hired. Of the eight
teachers the government
says are needed at the
village school in Thame, it
says it can only afford to
hire three.
Sherpa’s
foundation
helps to pay the salaries of
another five teachers who
have not been formally
hired.
“It is really difficult to
find qualified teachers to
move to remote villages
and we don’t have enough
money to pay all their
salaries,” said Khagendra
Shrestha,
the
chief
education officer for the
district in charge of Thame.
Sherpa’s
foundation
mostly collects funds from
donations, talks, dinners,
and screenings. Last year,
it raised $80,000. It also
has
sponsorship
from
outdoor equipment sup-
plier Thule thanks to
Sherpa’s fame.
“Apa’s vision was that he
wanted the children to
have a choice through edu-
cation,” said foundation
board member Valerie Lit-
tleton. “He is very pas-
sionate about giving back
to the country he loves.”
