Summer Learning Journey | Activity: 3 | Scaling New Heights | Week 1 | ( 6 Points )

 Scroll down so you can see the work that I have done.😄

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and his sherpa (guide), Tenzing Norgay, were the first people to reach the summit of Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

At the time, Edmund Hillary was an apiarist (beekeeper) from Auckland, New Zealand.
During the summer he worked as a beekeeper, and during the winter, he climbed mountains.
Becoming the first person to summit Everest was not easy. In fact, Edmund Hillary attempted
(tried) to climb to the top of Mt Everest three times before he succeeded. He was determined
to reach the top!

While this famous explorer and climber is mostly remembered for being the first person to
reach the summit of Mt Everest, he has also made a huge impact on the world through his
charity work. In 1960, Sir Edmund Hillary set up the Himalayan Trust to bring education,
healthcare and safe drinking water to the people of Nepal - the country where Mt Everest is
located.

My work ⬇️

I choose Auckland City Mission Because there are poor people living in the city outside and have no family and sick people in the hospital. That's why I chose Auckland City Mission.
