A group of six women decided to climb Africa's highest mountain,Mount Kilimanjaro,to draw public attention(注意)to the physical condition they share.The women suffer from albinism(患有白化病).One of the main signs of albinism is lighter-than-usual skin(皮膚)color.Other signs include white hair and pink eyes.
All the climbers say they have been looked down upon because of their albinism.In some countries women who give birth to babies with albinism are driven out by their families.Sometimes children with the condition are not accepted by their parents.Many children and adults with albinism are socially
abominated.Nodumo Ncomanzi,one of the climbers,said, "I was very much made fun of at school. "Even with these problems Ncomanzi graduated from Yale University in the United States and now works on education.
Mount Kilimanjaro is 5,895 meters high and is a difficult climb for anyone.Four of the climbers reached a camp at 4,700 meters before deciding to stop on medical advice.The other two—Ncomanzi and Waithera—continued the climb.But Waithera had to stop 20 meters short of the top because of a knee pain.So in the end,Ncomanzi was the one to represent(代表)the whole team.She reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro on October 7,2018.The team hoped that their climb could help change the public's incorrect opinion on people with the condition.
