One of my friend Roxana who met at the International Students Dinner was from Rome and talked about this amazing real story of Greg Mortenson who is a climber and visited Pakistan during his summit K2.
It's a great inspiring story how he helped build schools
in Pakistan & Afghanistan, one school at a time to promote education and
peace. With collaboration with Central Asia Institute they helped build schools
especially for girls. This is one of the bigger challenges that Pakistan faces
today in the Northern and North-Western Areas.
Here is also a link to a
slideshow showing some pictures from his work:

And, Malala Yousafzai the 14-year-old girl who was brave enough to accept this challenge, has set another example for everyone around the globe. She stood for the promotion of girls and women rights in her area (Northern Pakistan). She is definitely one of the pioneers of promotion of education for girls around the globe especially where education for girls was only a dream.
The UN Petition, in her name " I am Malala", and that all children to be in school by 2015, has inspired everyone from all walks of life and of all ages. We salute you, Malala.
