After their successful summit the heroic pioneers took on another lofty goal: empowering remote Himalayan people. Their leadership in this movement made them pioneers in a different field. The personally created schools, hospitals, and infrastructure that continue to be the backbone of the Sherpa people.
Their legacy continues in their descendants who continue to lead the way on the humanitarian issues of education, healthcare, and quality of life.
Today United Sherpa Association salutes all selfless pioneers of the past and present for their brave efforts on behalf of the future.
