Namaste Friends,

I assume you already heard the sad news on Mt. Everest. At least of 12 of our Sherpa friends lost their life while helping others. 

 

Those of you who have been to Nepal know about Sherpa and their lifestyles. Sherpa are known on their great kindness and helping others. They climb mountain for living. This accident happened while they were helping other climber's dream of reaching to the top of Mt. Everest.

 

Please join me and all others who saddened by this accident in our thoughts and prayers. Pray for the peace of the eternal soul and pray to provide strength to the family members in this difficult moment. More importantly wish for the better treatment and quick recovery of those who injured. Also pray for the safety of those currently involving on search and rescue operations.

 

I looked the list of victims and see few familiar names. It feels more sad when you personally know someone. I thought to share the sadness with my extended A&BC family.

I'm heart sick over this and desperately want to know that my Tenzing and Lhakpa are ok as well as other Asian Trekking Staff. And Prakash, is he ok? I'm joining with you in the deep prayers possible.

Prayers for the sherpas and families whose lives they touched.

I am deeply saddened. My life has been forever changed by my experience in Nepal.

I am not aware if our Sherpa friends who were with us in Imja Tse.  It looks like Asian Trekking's sherpa were not there at this time, however it has not been official yet. 


Thanks for all your messages.

Hello Bikal and all,

 

Oh, the grief I felt when I first heard the news.  One of the special parts for me of our trip to Imja Tse was getting to know the Sherpa people as a culture and specific Sherpa friends who were our guides.  I remember our visits to their homes and school, as well as how kind and helpful they were along the trail.  I felt truly blessed to get to know them.  Though I am glad to hear that probably none of those who were with us on our trip were killed or injured in this accident, I understand what a close-knit community this is, and the accident will touch all of them.  My prayers are with them.

 

Bikal, my particular condolences go to you.

 

Kathryn Williams

It is breathtakingly awful news and reminds me of when at 911, we lost so many NY firefighters all at once. My prayers go up for them, their families and their community.
God bless!

Kim

Namaste Bikal,

I am deeply saddened to hear of this tragic loss.  Indeed the care the sherpa extend is so very generous and genuine.  I cannot imagine the ripples of sorrow in the Sherpa community.  I will hold you and all those who have made this service their life's work in sacred space.

Namaste,
Ruth
