Today my school invited Greg Mortenson (author of Three Cups of Tea) to speak to the community as the Harold Hines Fellow. Unfortunately, he was delayed in flight and did not make his afternoon appearance. So to make productive use of the time, we held a Morning Exercise and allowed the students to speak about the service learning that had been put in place as a result of this book. It was a very meaningful event, in spite of losing the services of our keynote speaker.
Before you scream, “but you said you’d never blog about work!” keep your shirt on. This isn’t really about work, but rather about the video that comprised part of our assembly. This video was produced for Pennies for Peace, Mr. Mortenson’s student-focused service and fund-raising organization. It stars his daughter, and is extremely well done and worth a watch.
You hear the “but” coming, don’t you?
