Greg Mortenson went to Afghanistan to climb a mountain and ends up wanting to build a school. Do you think that his plan is a good idea? How can you help projects like this in other countries? If you could, would you want to start a project to help other people who are less fortunate

I think that Greg's idea is a good one because this is a better way for him to honor his sister. Greg could acomplish honoring his sister a whole lot more then just going to the top of a moutain. I can help projects like this by starting a fund raiser at my school then when i have a total I can write a check and mail it to the location of the project.If I had the money and the time yes I would start a project of my own for people who are less fortunate.

Maybe if I have enough money to build a school. Africa might be one of them that I'm going to build a school.

I think it is a great idea because they need help I would help. They need help because they aren't a rich country and now a war has started so they need food water shelter and any other basic need

Yes, I think this plan is a good idea because the children of Korphe want, need, and deserve to have a school in their village so they can have an education and one day get a job that will feed their families. You can help projects like this in other countries by donoting money. Yes I would, because that would help people who don't have a enough money, and that is what God would want you to do.

Yes I do agree with his plan because he decided to help other people instead of do what he wanted to do. I could donate money to that country to help the project. Yes I would want to help less fortunate people because when I die I would want to be known as someone who helps people.

I think Greg's plans are a good idea because if someone is in need then you should always be there for them. How I can help people in other contries is by making a funraiser at my school, or donate clothes, food, shoes, or more. Send a little of my extra money. Anything will help them. If I could start a program to help them, then I would because I know it would be the right thing to do.

When Greg went to Afganistan to climb K2 but ended up climbing a building a school, I think that is a wonderful idea because they don't have any school and it would be nice to be able to go and learn. I could help projects like those by supporting them and maybe even sending supplies. I think if I could do a project like that I would because it would make me feel good inside.

I think Greg's idea is good because he could honor himself and his siter at the same time.I could help other countries with this project by starting a fundraiser and get a certain amount of money or more than when i get it i could send the money to the location of the country that i'm sending the money to.If i had the decision to do a project for a good cost or not i would pick yes.I would raise money for the poor or people without money or a family.I am a caring person and not the rude people you be seeing around here! :)
