Khaberni - Announced by Captain and coach Awn Al-Kabariti, Jordanian hero Mustafa Salameh will soon commence his journey toward the summit of Everest, and his aim is not merely to reach the top.
Al-Kabariti stated that Salameh's journey is for the children of Gaza who wake up every day not knowing what to expect, many of whom need treatment to heal and live a normal life like any other child in the world.
He added, "Every step on this mountain is not just physical fatigue — it carries their stories with them. Every breath in this harsh air reminds us that true strength is not only in the body… but in the heart. This is not just a climbing expedition, it is something much bigger."
Following is the text written by Al-Kabariti:
In four days, Mustafa Salameh will start his journey toward the summit of Everest... but this time, the issue is bigger than just reaching the top.
It is for the children of Gaza.
Children wake up every day not knowing what to expect... they have gone through very tough circumstances, things no child should have to experience. Many of them still need treatment, to heal, and to have a simple normal life like any other child.
The Rising Dreams journey is for them.
For hope… even when everything seems difficult.
Every step on this mountain is not just physical fatigue — it carries their stories with them.
And every breath in this harsh air reminds us that true strength is not only in the body… but in the heart.
This is not just a climbing expedition,
it is something much bigger than that.
