Greg Mortinson was the man who first built the Central Asia Institute in 1996. He had made a promise to the children of Afghanistan and Pakistan to come back and build them a school, and he kept his word. his goal was to get the young women educated. Educating a female in r=this rural area was important and vital; if her education achieved until 5th grade then three important factors were reached: the immortality rate would drop, simple living factors were learned, and sh would independently survive. Many institutions now are open in Central Asia all of them seeking to help the most needed i having an education. These facilities are all taught by community members who are trained in training programs, and this doesn't only make community members find comfort in that someone from their own community is teaching their their own it makes the children open their heart to yearn for an education and to fulfill their dreams of maybe even teaching one day to give back to the community and to Greg Mortinson for the opportunity of an education. Greg Mortinson did not only bring hope to the children of Afghanistan and Pakistan; he sent a calling to all people in the world that anything can be done if it is done from the bottom of the heart. He made a promise and made it happen on his own because it is through ones word that others see who u truly are if u keep it or you break it, and Greg Mortinson kept his word showing that anything can be done.
I think that was something that really impressed me too about Greg Mortinson - He was a man who kept his word. And that's something we can all learn from.
ReplyDeleteI like how you ended your blog saying that it was a calling to all people that anything can be done. Its true, anything can be done but its up to us to make a difference just as Greg Mortenson did and it all starts with us and nothing will ever get better unless we act.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing that there is still people in the world like this, who make a promise to help and actually fulfill that promise, i'm great full for those kind of people.
ReplyDeletei believe its a very amazing story because there is no one that i personally know that would actually go back and build a school for the kids. if only there was more people like this.
