Welcome to Outposts from the Other Side!
Many hundreds of Sherpa fathers have been killed while climbing in the Himalaya and providing support for foreign climbers. Due to the traditions of Sherpa culture, the children of deceased Sherpa guides and porters are left destitute with few options for care or schooling. Widows are viewed as outcasts and seldom remarry.
The Other Side of Everest Educational Foundation paves a way for these families’ successful reintegration into society, by providing the resources and support necessary to raise healthy, educated, empowered children.
By partnering with public schools in inner city areas of the United States, we accomplish dual goals by educating and inspiring American youth. Following the adventures of mountain climber and founder, Wendy Booker, these children who face their own challenges in life are encouraged to appreciate opportunities, achieve their dreams, and give back.
