If you have read Three Cups of Tea...you know the inspirational story of Greg Mortenson . If not, then please read Three Cups of Tea...a truly inspirational story of a man overcoming overwhelming odds to help children get an education. I had the pleasure seeing Greg in person at VT and his story is truly amazing. Also, here is a link to the charity that he started...Pennies for Peace.

Pennies for Peace educates children about the world beyond their experience and shows them that they can make a positive impact on a global scale, one penny at a time.

Our best hope for a peaceful and prosperous world lies in the education of all the world’s children. Through cross-cultural understanding and a solution-oriented approach, Pennies for Peace encourages children, ultimately our future leaders, to be active participants in the creation of global peace.
