COMMENTS: School for Girls
In Pakistan, the government honored Greg Mortenson for his volunteer school building efforts and ABC anchor Charles Gibson named him his network's Person of the Week. When NBC profiled Mortenson for Making a Difference eighteen months ago, John Larson concentrated on the mountaineering exploits that led Mortenson to the educationally deprived villages of northern Pakistan.

Mortenson's bestselling book is Three Cups of Tea.
