Resources for schools
The Himalayan Trust education pack takes students on a learning journey through Sir Ed’s adventures in the Himalayas and his legacy of helping others.
This is a uniquely Kiwi story that will inspire young New Zealanders to follow in Sir Ed’s footsteps and challenge themselves, help others, and have fun doing it!
