Peace Throughout The World

The video we saw on the poverty that is happening in Central Asia was an eye opener. Many families struggle to make it through the week. There is very low education there so many of the kids become illiterate. They try to educate the kids with the basic abilities like math, reading, etc. They also teach the very briefly about STD's and condoms. The Central Asia Institute helps with these causes. They accept people by serving you three cups of tea. The first one is for getting to know one another, as if you were a stranger. The second cup is to become friends. Finally, the third cup is to become like a family. It takes quite a while to become a part of the family but the point is to treat each other like a family. Greg Mortenson is one of the main people making a difference in Central Asia. He is helping people and changing their lives. It is truly remarkable. It is very time consuming for him but he helps kids with education also. Education is the key to success. By Greg helping these children get a valuable education is a great thing.

  1. I agree with you on how education is the key to success. I believe that that is one way to help improve the situation of the country and help develop more educated people so they can succeed and help their country out.
