What Real Alaskan Women Read
Finished the Book
Well I just finished the book, and had composed a wonderful posting, and of course just lost it.
So I will attempt to recompose without frustration.
I am glad that I took my time to read it, as it gave me time to think and ponder the story and events. I feel that I can spend more time thinking of other countries and cultures.
I think one of the things that I enjoyed so much about the book was how inspiring Mortenson's story is. He is trully an example of excellent character. Accept one aspect. His wife. I would think it would be so hard for her to share someone so special. She must be a truly selfless persons. What a challenging difficult life. but again very inspiring.
So of course, I wanted to keep reading the rest of the story or at least get updates on what is going on, so I headed over to the website to check out what was there. It looks like they have an update put together by some journalists:
Since 2007, Montana photographer Deirdre Eitel and journalist Karin Ronnow have traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan several times to document Greg Mortenson and Central Asia Institute projects. An in-depth 2007 publication of their visits titled, “Journey of Hope” can be downloaded by clicking the icon to the left. A new 2008 “Journey of Hope II” will be released in November 2008 and posted online. You may also request hard copies from our CAI office. info@ikat.org.
Also I thought it would be very cool for my homeschool son to do "pennies for peace" this year for his service learning. The attached curriculum, resources, and reading list will greatly help with learning about different cultures.
Finally, I happen chanced into Ed Links, Learning 2.0 for Pakistan schools. There are some interesting conversations in there. Take a look.
