When Mountains Teach the Hardest Lessons
Picture a man alone on a glacier, wrapped in nothing but a thin blanket, having just failed to reach the summit of the world's second-highest peak. Most would call this defeat. Greg Mortenson calls it the beginning. After getting lost on his descent from K2, weak and disoriented, he stumbled into Korphe, a village so remote that children learned by scratching letters in frozen dirt with sticks. No classrooms. No books. Just eighty-two kids kneeling on the ground, hungry for knowledge they could barely access. In that moment, watching those children practice their lessons in the bitter cold, Mortenson made a promise that seemed impossible: "I'm going to build you a school." What followed wasn't just the story of one school-it became a movement that would challenge how we think about fighting extremism, building peace, and honoring the communities we aim to help.
