In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and his sherpa (guide), Tenzing Norgay, were the first people to reach the summit (top) of Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.
Sir Edmund Hillary also did a lot of charity work. In 1960, he started the Himalayan Trust to bring education, healthcare and safe drinking water to the people of Nepal - the country where Mt Everest is located.

Hey Logan!
ReplyDeleteMe again. :)
You've chosen a very worthy charity to talk about but could you tell us a bit more about what they do? I won't be able to award you the full amount of points for this activity if you don't provide a bit more information.
Thanks Logan.
Talk soon,
Mikey :)
