PRAISE FOR HIMALAYAN DREAMS ‘No matter where you’re from you have to have a dream…Som was a young man that wanted to go somewhere. Not to run away but he wanted his own adventure, his own life and ambitions….He did what he said he was going to do.’ Jason Clarke, Australian Actor Everest ‘The compelling story of Som Tamang’s journey from poverty and child slavery to hope and optimism high in the Himalayan Mountains. It’s a rich journey revealing life’s infinite promises, and what’s possible when we choose to overcome challenges. This book is also a testament to award-winning journalist, Kirsty Nancarrow, and the power of storytelling to change lives, including her own.’ Anita Jacoby AM Media Executive, Board Director & Author ‘You can feel his spirit immediately. He is someone who has gone through a very difficult life but out of tremendous compassion and benevolence for other people, especially for children that suffer similar fates as him, to avoid that he developed this huge courage and strength to change something in the world.’ Julius Dreyer, Founder of Happiness.com ‘Gripping and uplifting.’ Dr Kerstin Pilz, Author — ISBN13: 9780648609124
