Greg Mortenson, author of best-selling Three Cups of Tea and Stones Into Schools, shares the story of a failed K2 ascent that culminated in a school-building campaign in remote, volatile areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Learn how his rash pledge to school children helped him promote peace “with books, not bombs.” Join Greg and Traveler Magazine Editor Don George in a compelling conversation on what it takes to start a global movement.
Co-sponsored with NG Traveler magazine.
