Congratulations, Wasfia Nazreen !! The National Geographic, a Washington based Magazine. has named Wasfia Nazreen an adventurer of the year 2014-15. Congratulations, Wasfia Nazreen. We feel proud of you. Simultaneously, we feel sorry for those liars, specially a self styled so called researcher and reportedly a melon grower, who has since been trying to spread lies on this great site, for reasons best known to him, about our country mentioning how we treat our women here ! Hope, he would now feel like reading more about this country and its people in stead of indulging in calling someone names on this great site in a most indecent manner!! A total of 10 people in as many categories have been named in the list with Wasfia earning the prestige in the activist category. In her profile, the magazine hailed her commitment to empowering women and girls in Bangladesh She is the second Bangladeshi woman to conquer the Mount Everest. She set foot atop the world's highest peak on May 26, 2012. She was the first Bangladeshi to summit Aconcagua, South America's highest peak; Denali, North America's highest peak; Mt Elbrus, Europe's highest mountain; and Vinson Massif, Antarctica's highest point. In 2011, Wasfia, also a social-worker and writer, had taken up the challenge of scaling the highest mountains of each of the seven continents in celebration of 40 years of independence of Bangladesh and women progress. She has successfully completed the mission in six continents She now plans to summit the seventh -- Oceania's Carstensz Pyramid -- late this month, according to the magazine. She has recently launched the Ösel Foundation, aimed at educating marginalized young women and getting them into the outdoors. Source: The Daily Star.     |

Thank you so much for visiting my blog almost soon after it has been posted. Also thanks for being the first one here to comment. You will gradually know more about this great Lady. As you told me earlier, most of the Asian countries do not get appreciations for the achievements of their citizens for various reasons including false propaganda! .Anyway, thanks once again for stopping by Lisa. Have a nice weekend. Regards dear>
