Pem Dorjee Sherpa: Everest Ascents and Service

Pem Dorjee, a Nepalese Sherpa born in 1982, has climbed Mt. Everest two times, the second time with his girlfriend Moni Mulepati where they exchanged wedding vows on 30 May 2005, and thus became the first couple to be married on top of Mt. Everest while on the Rotary Centennial Everest Expedition. They also hoisted the flag of Rotary International, a club with which Dorjee has frequently been involved, in honor of its centennial year.

Aside from his mountaineering achievements, Dorjee has worked on improving the quality of life in his home village of Chayangba. Dorjee has organized service projects such as dental, eye, and other health projects, as well as funding to build libraries, schools, and drinking water systems in his village and other remote villages in Nepal.
