"One's Man Mission to Promote Peace, One School at a Time"
2.“And they did it with something that is basicly worthless in our society - pennies. But overseas, pennies can move mountains”
-Greg Mortenson pg.52

Greg's mother was a school principal and when she told her students about what her son was doing in Pakistan and how he needed $12,000 to build a school, students decided to help him raise money. They started to collect pennies and even though in our society pennies are worthless, those pennies that students gathered were the first contributions given to building the school. This quote shows that little things like pennies can have no value to some but for people half way across the world it could be worth more than the world.
