Building Peace Video Greg Mortenso
I thought this video was amazing because education is important to everyone no matter how poor someone might be. They don’t need a lot of education as long as they can read and write they can get far in life. In the video a man named Greg was able to get education to people in Afghanistan and I think it’s amazing what he did to help these people. They are very poor and don’t even have clean water to drink which in many cases causes death for children under 5 years old. It is very sad how these people live and Greg was an amazing person to get some time out of him and get a little of education to them. By teaching them up to the 5th grade it is enough to make some great changes like reducing deaths.
We are very fortunate to have the education that we get for free because we can go very far but that is our decision. Also we have a lot of technology that help us improve our education by making it easier. We should be grateful for everything that we have because not everybody can afford what we have for free. Sometimes we might not want to go to school in the morning but we learn something new every day and we can someday teach someone else just like Greg did.
I was really surprised with what he did for these people in their community, and the commitment that he took, but the best thing is that he kept his promise to the children of building a school for them. That's a true leader.
