Please join me on September 24th for a special Rowell Lecture event, “AN EVENING WITH GREG MORTENSEN” a reception and program with the co-founder of the Central Asia Institute and best-selling co-author of Three Cups of Tea as he pays tribute to his friends Galen and Barbara Rowell and discusses his life’s work in promoting education and literacy, especially for girls, in the remote mountain regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Details are available here.
This is of particular interest to me, as I am honored to be a member of the Rowell Legacy Committee, as well as a judge on the panel of The Rowell Award. This award honors the adventurer whose artistic passion illuminates the wild places of the world, and whose accomplishments significantly benefit both the environment and the peoples who inhabit these lands and regions. Past recipients have included, Jimmy Chin, Beth Wald and, most recently, James Balog. Please visit www.rowellaward.com for more information.
