By Deus Ngowi in Arusha
A Tanzanian girl is on her last course to accomplish conquering seven highest mountains in the
world.
Rawan Dakik from
Arusha is in her last preparations to hike Mount Everest that stands at
8,848 metres above sea level in Nepal, Asia and is the highest mountain
in the world.
Her mission, apart
from climbing the mountains, is to spearhead peace in the world and
development to women as well as the youth. She is set to hike the
mountain in March this year.
The 17 year old Arushaborn girl has asked Tanzanians to pray for her so that her dream can come true.
She said that she
has been aiming to hike all major mountains since she was a child, and
when she reached 12 years she started her mission.
Rawan has so far
climbed to the Uhuru Peak of Africa's highest mountain, Mount
Kilimanjaro and the Ebrus Mountain in Russia, which could be considered
as the highest mountain in Europe.
She has also
climbed a mountain in the Principal Cordillera of the Andes mountain
range in Mendoza Province, Argentina known as Aconcagua Mountain.
Ms Rawan who is of
Asian descent has scaled Kazbec Ice Mountain - a dormant stratovolcano
and one of the major mountains of the Caucasus located on the border of
Georgia's Kazbegi district and Russian Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.
She has also been
able to scale Carstenz Pyramid in Indonesia, which is the highest summit
of Mount Jayawijay in the Sudirman Range of the western central
highlands of Papua Province. It is also the highest point between the
Himalayas and the Andes.
