Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs,
in Afghanistan and Pakistan |
 |
The Institute will sponsor a study of Greg Mortenson’s new book, Stones Into Schools, in which he describes his efforts to bring education to a country beset by war and poverty. Vivid portraits of the political and social challenges he encounters while organizing the building of schools offer insights into cross cultural interactions as well as the universality of human values. In reading the book, you will meet the heroic people who are making Mortenson’s vision successful and fulfilling for thousands of students and parents. Contact Carolyn Dorrance at Carolyn@worldculture.org for information and to offer suggestions. Copies of the book are easily purchased locally and online. Mortenson's website indicates that he is scheduled to be at UCSB for a talk on May 4, 2010. Mortenson's website: http://www.gregmortenson.com/
