Appreciating Diversity through Adventure

Seven Summits project is an adventure project in which a mountaineer summits the highest peak of each and every continent in the world. Until now, I am in 3 in 3 Alhamdulilah! My last summit was the highest peak of South America - Mt Aconcagua i.e. the highest peak in the world outside Asia. I am only the fourth Pakistani to summit Aconcagua and it could not have been possible without your support. Now, it's time for my 4th expedition in this project which is going to be on the highest peak of Australia - Mt Kosciuszko. After Kosciuszko, I'll be left with three mountains to complete my seven summits project: Mt Everest, Mt Denali (Alaska - North America) and Mt Vinson (Antarctica)

However, to be honest, this attractive record is not the biggest driving force for me in this project. It's great to take your country forward with such records but I want to go beyond the record books. The bigger driving force for me in this project is DIVERSITY! First, to experience it and to learn from it and then to share my learnings with others. I have always believed that diversity is not to be feared but to be celebrated. Especially coming from a country like Pakistan, I can easily say that if you consider diversity your enemy, then it'll actually become your biggest weakness. But if you start celebrating it, then it'll become your biggest strength. Through this project, I want to prove that! I am documenting human stories from all across the world and I am going to use my writing as a platform to tell the world that we all might look different, speak different languages or have different history, but with our tender heavy hearts, we are all the same. Looking for some love, respect and acceptance. Since I'll be climbing some high mountains, my words will make a bigger impact and will hopefully, inspire more people. That is why I have named this project: "Appreciating Diversity through Adventure".

I have a few sponsors on board: Shan Foods, Crescent Steel and Allied Products, but the overall cost is much more than the sponsorship amounts. Therefore, I have started this gofundme campaign so that I don't have to stop the project in case I do not have enough sponsors on board.

Please contribute if you agree with my perspective and want to support my project. I assure you this is bigger than me! InshaALLAH all support received will be translated into doing good for the society.

• -> For any contribution of 250$ and above, you can get a real time shout out from the mountains (Base Camp & Higher camps)

• -> For any contribution of 500$ and above, you can get your name on the summit of the highest peak of each and every continent in the world.

Let's appreciate life.

Let's celebrate diversity!
