As an educator I appreciate what Greg Mortenson is doing to promote peace in Afganistan and Pakistan by helping communities build schools for their children. I thought this book more interesting than Three Cups of Tea, although I think it important ...

Excellent-I thought this was even better than Mortenson's first book, Three Cups of Tea. All about Mortenson's -- and the other staff of his NGO's --efforts to build schools for girls/young women in rural Afghanistan -- and later, the effects of the ...

This is again a wonderful book by Greg Mortenson. It points up again how a regular person can catch on to a dream and do some miraculous things. As a teacher it thrills me to think there are girls out there in some horribly remote places who are goin...

“Educate a boy, and you educate an individual. Educate a girl, and you educate a community.
African proverb via Greg Mortensen”
― Greg Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time
African proverb via Greg Mortensen”
― Greg Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time
“Once you educate the boys, they tend to leave the villages and go search for work in the cities, but the girls stay home, become leaders in the community, and pass on what they’ve learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls.”
― Greg Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time
― Greg Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time
“You can hand out condoms, drop bombs, build roads, or put in electricity, but until the girls are educated a society won’t change.”
― Greg Mortenson
