Creating Peace

First of all, what Greg Mortinson was doing for those people was very noble. By building a school for young woman, he has opened so many doors for advancement in knowledge and they might one day go on to bigger and better things. Seeing someone put that much dedication and hard work in to a great cause makes you want to become a better person as well.  There was something that one of the men in village said that I am a firm believer of and that was “Education is the light.” And it is, and it all starts with the education of our kids and the youth all over the world, because in reality they are the ones who will be managing things in the future. Some people might say that helping people in tiny villages like the ones in Central Asia is pointless, but the point is to make our world a better place not just our own home. We need to start somewhere, why not with education? With that, small villages like the one we saw can grow in to a flourishing civilization.
Its really sad to see how people around the world are forced to live but also inspiring in the way that they over come.

  1. I agree with you. Greg is such a good person I think there should be more Greg Morrison on the world. I think it was interesting that he focused on the girls education, which I agree with him that I think that they are the future to our world. Because if they are educated they will have fewer children and they will have their children not that early in age. This will make them to fulfill themselves as a woman and will help and benefit at the end the family.
