Fareed Zakaria runs the only program on CNN that I can watch without feeling sorry for what journalism has become.
Check out the interview he did with Greg Mortenson, author of the best-seller Three Cups of Tea.
Mortenson has been building schools in areas of conflict and war in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan.
He focuses on educating girls. His work is inspired by an African proverb according to which if you educate a boy, you educate an individual. But if you educate a girl you educate a community.
What a great example of grass-root peace building.
