EVEREST AVALANCHE ALERT  //  SHERPA SUPPORT FUND 

Earlier today at least 12 Sherpa guides died in an avalanche on Mount
Everest. In remembrance, the American Alpine Club has established the Sherpa
Support Fund

families of these fallen climbers and the communities affected by this
tragedy.

For years mountaineering has been the livelihood for Sherpas in the Khumbu
Region. Unfortunately, many work without the benefit of a financial support
system should they be injured or killed in the course of their dangerous
work.

Gifts to the Sherpa Support Fund will be managed by the AAC. This is a newly
created fund, and the AAC is working to identify the necessary partners and
guidelines to most efficiently and effectively distribute these generous
gifts. The Sherpa Support Fund website

details become available.
