are ready for the autumn trekking season.\u00c2\u00a0 Many homes in the various Khumbu villages have also now been rebuilt, but there is still plenty of work to do. \u00c2\u00a0Back in Kathmandu, Jangbu and Pasang report that there is also a lot of rebuilding and that the local hotels and tourist sites are hoping that visitors will start returning.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of our IMG Sherpa team, a hearty \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thank you\u00e2\u20ac\u009d goes out for all the support we have received for our Sherpa Fund.\u00c2\u00a0 We received contributions from nearly 300 individuals, totaling over $100,000 and all of this money has been sent to Nepal.\u00c2\u00a0 From this we were able to provide support to over 90 IMG sherpa families for their rebuilding efforts (27 in Phortse, 7 in Khunde\/Khumjung, 13 in Pangboche, 12 in Thame, 15 in Kharikhola and Solu, and 18 in Kathmandu).<\/p>\n<p>We are looking forward to getting back to Nepal.\u00c2\u00a0 Our upcoming <strong><span
