After he was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of a Pakistani village, he promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time--Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban. In a region where Americans are often feared and hated, he has survived kidnapping, death threats, and wrenching separations from his wife and children. But his success speaks for itself--at last count, his Central Asia Institute had built fifty-five schools.--From publisher description. 600 10 Mortenson, Greg. |=^A787230 650 0 Girls' schools |zPakistan. |=^A868947 650 0 Girls' schools |zAfghanistan. |=^A868947 650 0 Humanitarian assistance, American |zPakistan. |=^A388746 650 0 Humanitarian assistance, American |zAfghanistan. |=^A388746 700 1 Relin, David Oliver. |=^A787231 994 92 |bERE 910 PromptCat 938 Baker & Taylor |bBKTY |c15.00 |d11.25 |i0143038257 |n0006927914 |sactive 938 Baker and Taylor |bBTCP |nbl2007003351 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n2544348 980 2008-09-23 |b15 |d0 |e14.25 |f516596 |g30372014037029 |h99821431975 |iLC 2330 .M67 2007 596 1 998 1396721
