South African philanthropist Angela Yeung etched her name in mountaineering history by conquering Everests perilous North Side, then rewrote the rules of summit success by delivering vital supplies to Himalayan children , Cape town Etc reports.
At precisely 10:56am China Time on Saturday 24 May, Yeung reached the 8 848-metre peak after a gruelling ascent.
But her 100kg payload of donated supplies, carefully transported down the mountain, proved the real measure of her expeditions success.
In regions like Rolwaling, revered as the land of Guru Padmasambhava, children often face an educational divide. Monastic schools provide spiritual wisdom but lack modern resources, while conventional systems prioritise academics over ethics. Angela's donation drive addresses both needs.
Everest is a symbol of resilience, courage, and clarity of purpose. But giving back, especially to children in these remote regions, is the real summit. We must equip the next generation not just with tools to succeed materially, but also with the heart and ethics to lead compassionately, she highlighted after her climb.
