30-5-2019
Further to the news regarding the achievement of Lebanese mountain climber Joyce Azzam in reaching the summit of Everest (c.f: https://bit.ly/2QzT50A), Al-Nahar newspaper reported that in addition to Azzam, two Lebanese women, Nelly Attar and Fatima Darian, also took part in the expedition for planting the Lebanese flag at the summit. Speaking to An Nahar daily, Darian said she was thrilled to complete this arduous adventure which lasted for weeks amidst harsh climate conditions. “What is important,” Darian boasted, is “that I returned home safely after accomplishing a dual challenge. “First, that I reached the highest summit in the world, and second, discovered the amount of trash amassed in the area, which is part of my work.” In her message to Lebanese and Arab women, Darian stressed anyone can reach any place he/she wants. The world has changed today and everything seems possible and accessible, she maintained. "Do not shy away from anything. Do what you love and try new things. Nothing is impossible. Set a goal, and you will definitely get there,” Darian said. (An Nahar, May 30, 2019)
