Greg, thank you so much for what you are doing. Your work, your mission is more important then any other "hearts and minds" program our government is doing. You are a true American Hero.

Hi Greg,

just want to tell you that I am truly inspired by what you have done and is doing for the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Not many people in this world can do what you are doing, you are a indeed a hero.
Last but not least, to the people like Sarfraz Khan, Faisal Baig and many more, devoting their time and effort at Central Asia Institute, you guys are equally honorable too!

Keep up the good work!

Your story is such an amazing one, and humanitarian efforts like yours are ones that really inspire me. When I get out of school I hope to be able to travel to places like those talked about in Three Cups of Tea and to help the deserving people there. I know that for me, the book really taught me what the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan are really like as opposed to a bunch of terrorists like much of the media makes them out to be.

Greg. Thank you so much for what you do. I have had the pleasure of working with Afghan people in Dubai since the past few years and I have never met a people more passionate about their country. Reading your books has gone a long way to explaining why that is. I worked for Merwis Azizi from the Azizi Bank but never got the chance to visit Afghanistan unfortunately. One day Inshalla. Anyway how do we contribute to your work from Australia.
