Climbing Everest
In May 2022, I became the sixth Portuguese to reach the summit of Everest and funded scholarships for 25 children from Nepal.
On April 25, 2015, little Simran felt the earth shake in Nepal. She saw her village being destroyed in a matter of seconds, but she never lost hope. This book is part of the National Reading Plan in Portugal, and helps young people to reflect on the themes of volunteering, solidarity and what to do in the event of an earthquake.
On January 2017, Pedro Queirós unintentionally embarked on what would be his first Humanitarian Adventure: 1200 kilometers on foot across India from the door of the Taj Mahal in Agra to the gates of Camp Hope in Kathmandu. A journey through the deepest roots of consciousness and ultimately, what defines the human being: pain, freedom and the desire to help others.
The courage to make a difference lies at the heart of being human. Portuguese Pedro Queirós and Lourenço Macedo Santos were caught up in the earthquake that destroyed Nepal on April 25, 2015, but instead of leaving the country, they decided to stay and help the people affected by the tragedy. The mission became known as Obrigado Portugal, nós também somos Nepal. The book has a foreword written by the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres.
