The Value of Sherpa Life taking notes

The text talks about the fateful day when sixteen Sherpas were killed by an avalanche, while walking on Mount Everest. Sherpas are Nepalese who practice mountaineering as a cultural and essential part of their daily lives. Mountaineering has become the main source of income for these Nepalese, which makes them refuse to abandon this practice, in addition to submitting to very dangerous places with little, if any, safety equipment. To help these Nepalese many institutions seek to teach them safer techniques for practicing mountaineering, in addition to teaching first aid. Rescue institutions were also created. Although the company refers to the Sherpas as mountain guides, they have this activity to survive. The author reinforces the need for economic policies that help Sherpas, or at least offer safer activities.

Explanation:

The above notes were taken from the text that shows the risky life of the Sherpas to survive, being victims of a community with few economic policies that establish a good quality of life and supply of needs, making the Sherpas risk their lives in very worrying situations. and that has already resulted in accidents, disasters and deaths.
