Schools for Peace


Join us, September 11, 2010, at 7:00 PM, at St John Episcopal Church to help bring peace to Afghanistan and Pakistan and commemorate 9/11 by attending a fund-raiser for Greg Mortensen’s Central Asia Institute. Local supporters, inspired by Mortensen’s, Three Cups of Tea, are hosting an evening of information and fund-raising. The 157 schools that the Central Asia Institute has funded over the past 16 years have educated over 55,000 students, including 40,000 girls.

Educate a Girl and you educate a Village!

Come and enjoy guest speakers and samples of Afghan cuisine and customs by native hosts. Fund-raising activities will include wine tasting, raffle tickets, auction bids and a $10 admission. Books and other literature on the region will be available.
