Remembering Former Oman Country Coordinator Nadhira Alharthy
We are incredibly saddened to share the news that former Oman Country Coordinator, Nadhira Alharthy, recently passed away. Alharthy was not only an incredible inspiration to the GLOBE Community, she holds the distinction of being the first Omani woman to conquer the summit of the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest. Our condolences to the GLOBE Oman community.

I still remember when she said to Tony and I she was going to climb Everest and we said “ have you even been in the snow before?”… she said “no - but I’m going to do it”… what an amazing person...so very sad… (Dave Overoye, U.S.)
