Sir Edmund Hillary

Sir Edmund Hillary died today. He was an example of a man who was selfless, who served his fellow man and did much to improve a wretched country, Nepal. New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark called him the Greatest New Zealander who ever lived. As I read about what he had done with his work with the Himalyan Trust, I wondered whether we need more Edmund Hillary's. May his soul rest in peace.
