Stones into Schools

This is the follow up to the book Three Cups of Tea.  It is a continuation of the amazing story of Greg Mortenson and the Central Asia Institute.  This book focuses on the building of Schools for Girls in Afghanistan and all the hundreds of obstacles and complications that arouse in his work in that country.   We also learn a great deal about individuals that Greg has built relationships with.  I love Greg's story and highly recommend both books.  The highlight comes when he tells of building the school in Kara Jirga among the Kirghiz people.  This is one of the most remote and also one of the poorest places on earth.  This finally occurred a decade after Greg has promised a group of horsemen sent by Abdul Rashid Khan (leader of that area and also man who is passionate about education and helping his people) that he would build a school in their remote area.
We also learn about the work of the CAI after the horrible earthquake that hit the area on October 8, 2005.  This is an amazing story filled with amazing people.  If you want to learn about true Muslims and how caring a loving they really are read this story.  You also learn about the horror of war that been a part of that part of the world for hundreds of years, and what the amazing people are doing to create a sense of peace and equality now.
I guess what I want to say is read Three Cups of Tea and then read Stones into Schools.
