2. HeresanINTRODUCTIONtotheSocialEntrepreneour, JohnWood
John Wood visited a school in a neighbouring village of the country, Nepal,
which John Wood wanted to escape to for a backpacking getaway to relieve his
burdens from his work at Microsoft. He met a ‘Resource Director’ whom after
seeing his reaction to the lag of books in the school, told him this sentence,
“Perhaps, sir, you will someday come back with books,”
This inspired him to come out with the initiative to change the inadequacy of
schools in rural areas of the developing world through conducting a book drive
when he returned and donated those books for as the students education.

Greg Mortenson was cared for by Korphe residents while he
took a wrong turn on the trail and ended up in the small
village of Korphe and physically exhausted, ill, and alone
at the time of his arrival there. This inspired him to build
a school for the village after he noticed local students
attending school in an outdoor location and writing out
their lessons in the dirt.

5. HISTORYandIMPACTof GregMortenson’sVenture
Greg Mortenson had experienced frustration in his efforts to raise money for the school. He
managed to convince Silicon Valley computer pioneer Jean Hoerni to fund the building of the
Korphe school. Following his success in building the school, Hoerni invited him to serve as
the first executive director of Central Asia Institute. The mission of the non-profit
organization is to promote education and literacy, especially for girls, in remote mountain
regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
From 2006 through 2011, Greg Mortenson promoted his book as well as fundraising and
promoting girls' education through public speaking events at schools throughout the United
States. Travel expenses for his speaking engagements were paid for by Central Asia
Institute through the end of 2010. Mortenson personally kept monies received in exchange
for his service as a public speaker as well as royalties from the sale of his book. In
2009, the total cost of his book promotion, fundraising, and awareness-building for girls
education paid for by CAI amounted to $4.6 million. Greg Mortenson’s organisation has
established or significantly supported over 300 projects, including 191 schools, in rural
and often volatile regions of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan.
