Mere hours before reaching the summit, Mungalsingh gave his supporters an update of his progress.
“I just want to thank everyone who has contributed and given so generously….” said Mungalsingh as he approached the summit.
In 2015, Mungalsingh established the non-governmental organization called Home for Angels and Little Ones (HALO).
He said his mission is not just to climb mountains but to plant the Trinidad and Tobago flag at the top of the highest peaks in the world.
