whether greg mortenson is a liar or not, the book is worth reading. not really well written but... the place and the people, the needs and the description of how westerners are trying to help make the book worth reading. i of course read everything from this part of the world. totally support the idea of education & training vs. foreginers coming in with money and free stuff... Longterm results can just be seen if people own the process and are a part of changing their lives themselves...
