Richmond Forum - Greg Mortenson January 9, 2010

Following a failed attempt to climb the highest peak in Pakistan in 1993, an exhausted Greg Mortenson was taken in by the residents of a small village. To repay their kindness, Mortenson promised to return to build a school for their children, even though he would be sleeping in his car upon his return to the States.

Today, he has built over 60 schools in the most remote and volatile areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, at great risk to his own personal safety.

Greg will share his inspirational story, made famous in Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace…One School at a Time, which has become both a best seller and a State Department must-read. Mortenson’s much anticipated follow-up book is scheduled for release in December.

Tickets are sold primarily as season subscriptions. Single event tickets, if available, go on sale through The Richmond Forum office beginning three weeks prior to each program date.
