Summer Camp Bridge Crossing (Phunuru Sherpa)
We received a great update from IMG Senior Guide Phunuru Sherpa over the weekend. Phunuru was on the trail with the Summer Camp Kids from Phortse. I am going to share some photos and allow Phunuru to tell us all about the weekend adventure!
“Thanks again for the buffs, they are a very useful source for the kids to learn something about 7 summits. This trip has gone even better than I had expected! It was such a successful trip. On Saturday, the kids hiked to Nangajong Ri (15,583ft/4750m) and returned to Pangboche where they stayed for the night. On Sunday morning we went to Deboche and met His Great Holiness Tengboche Ringpoche and he gave us a 45 minute speech that was very fruitful. Then we went to Tengboche to visit the monastery. We then returned home Sunday afternoon so the kids can prepare for the exam. After completing the exam, we will have a team lunch and distribute certificates.” Phunuru Sherpa

Thank you for the update Phunuru! Everyone reading this is impressed and jealous with all of the fun you are having!
