When Honors Find You

Kathmandu, Nepal – Pemba Sherpa wasn’t looking for honors or awards when he and others launched the Sherpa Foundation in 2015. He was trying to keep the Sherpa Foundation’s work under the rader, to avoid government interference. But it’s tough to keep a low profile when you rebuild 23 homes and repair and renovate 140 more. Throw in few monasteries for good measure, and people notice.
