Magda King (Founder/ED)
Magda King, originally from Barcelona, Spain was US National Sales Manager for an export company until 1989 when she became the 1st woman from Spain to reach the summit of an 8,000 meter peak (Cho-Oyu 26,907 ft.). During her professional climbing career, she has climbed on seven of the only fourteen peaks in the world that exceed 26,000 ft. and organized many climbs to smaller peaks around the world. She has been recognized by Sports Women of Colorado, and received awards from the Mayor of Barcelona, the Olympic Committee, the President of the Catalan Government and many other organizations for her achievements in mountaineering. As a professional speaker, she motivates audiences to pursue their goals and make a difference in the world.
In appreciation for the help that she received from the Sherpa people during her expeditions, she wanted to give something back and chose education as the best gift. During 1998 she traveled through the United States doing slide shows and collecting the $10,000 in donations necessary to build an elementary school. After spending three months in a remote area of Nepal helping the locals build their school, she returned to Denver and in 1999 started Namlo International.
