Mail by Runner 157: Summit Member's gift packs out the door

A quick update from the office today. The annual Summit Member gift packs are heading out the door, and the photo below shows a few of them waiting to be posted.

Summit Membership sits at 20 people now, which is great to see not long after launching the programme. Summit Members receive a small gift each year and a closer connection to the stories and work coming out of Nepal.

Across all tiers, we now have 164 Himalayan Trust members. As many of you know, membership is not a donation. It is for people who want to stay connected, follow the work more closely, and feel part of Ed’s legacy as it continues in the Solukhumbu. It has grown into a meaningful community around the Trust. We hope to see this continue, as membership is one of the ways more New Zealanders can step into the pride and responsibility that Sir Ed carried through his years of partnership with the Sherpa people.

If you, or someone you know, would like to become a member, they can do that at himalayantrust.org/membership
