It was a sense of accomplishment beyond words for Poorna as she conquered Mt. Vinson Massif, the Antarctica continent\u2019s highest mountain peak (4,987 mts). 18 years-old Poorna becomes the first and youngest tribal woman in the world to set foot on the six tallest mountain peaks across six continents. So far, Poorna scaled Mt Everest (Asia, year 2014), Mt. Kilimanjaro (Africa, 2016), Mt. Elbrus (Europe, 2017), Mt. Aconcagua (South America, 2019) Mt. Cartsnez (Oceania region, 2019) and Mt. Vinson Massif (Antarctica, 2019).<\/p>\n
With her raw endurance and awe-inspiring missions, Poorna proved to the world that no mountain is too high for her. Poorna\u2019s phenomenal journey from climbing small hills in her tribal village of Pakala to the tops of the world\u2019s tallest mountain peaks began with the conquest of the Mt. Everest in the year 2014 and she never looked back since then.<\/p>\n
She broke negative stereotypes and proved to the world that marginalized girls can reach the highest peaks on earth, if opportunities are provided. The conquest of the formidable world\u2019s tallest mountains by Poorna left an indelible impression on millions of marginalized children, particularly girls across the world.<\/p>\n
Poorna is very close to achieving her goal of scaling the seven tallest summits located in seven continents. Poorna is gearing up to scale Mt. Denali (North America\u2019s highest mountain peak), the dream of every mountaineer in the world.<\/p>\n
Poorna thanked the Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and minister for welfare Koppula Eshwar for being the messiahs of poor children in the state. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have achieved mountaineering feats, if not for the solid support of the chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao\u201d said Poorna over satellite phone. Poorna thanked Secretary Dr RS Praveen Kumar and her coach Sekhar Babu Bachinepally of Transcend Adventures, Hyderabad, for their unwavering support and encouragement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
