Greg Mortenson, founder of Pennies for Peace, co-authored Three Cups of Tea, the story that inspired him to build schools for the children of Pakistan and Afghanistan. His dedication to building literacy and peace, one child at a time, has lead to the building of more than sixty schools to date. Students at Waller Mill heard his story and how a single penny can buy a pencil for children. Students collected pennies for this program and a school wide celebration was held. Students counted and rolled pennies together and shared tea.
