Just finished reading this book, and I have to say it really is an amazing story about a real life Indiana Jones!
Starting from the failure to climb K2, to the kidnapping in Afghanistan and ending on a minefield. Amazing story and inspirational to how one man can actually make a difference. And as it says in the last chapter of the book – When the Heart speaks, take notes – It’s an amazing way to end the book.
The mission to bring literacy to remote parts of Pakistan is one that I have always supported and can be added on to the amazing self funded projects currently running in Pakistan. TAC is another such project that I think has done well, but more focussed on one of the bigger cities in Pakistan – Lahore. The book has also been able to bring to light the best part about Pakistani culture – the unwaivering hospitality of its people.
All in all, I recommend reading this book, simply to understand the importance of education and the change one man can bring given the determination and right mindset. Things easier said than done. Lets all hope that Mr. Greg continues his work for Pakistan and the rest of the world.
