Greg Mortenson's story begins with a failed attempt to climb the world's second highest mountain, and takes him on a mission to promote peace by building one school at a time. Mortenson chronicles his journey in his best-selling book, "Three Cups of Tea." Mortenson brought his message to a sold-out crowd at Washburn University last fall, where Washburn was participating in Mortenson's "Pennies for Peace" campaign to help raise money for schools and other projects around the world.
