Stones into Schools

I really enjoyed this book on many levels. Greg Mortenson is a very intersting and inspirational man. His passion for what he does without any motive for personal gain is inspiring. This along with Three Cups of Tea are books that everyone should read. Tremendous insights into Afghanistan and Pakistan, the people and the culture. This is the straight stuff, no spin masters or political agendas here. A true humanitarian effort. Once I started it I could not put it down. The fact that there are people like Greg Mortensonout there certainly gives me hope for good and peace in the world. I hope someday I can meet this guy. He is on my list. One of the funniest scenes in the book is when some elders visit one of the schools and play on the playground equipment for 30 minutes. They gave permission to build a school in their area on the condition that it have a playground.
