Why is AAUW sponsoring the Three Cups of Tea?
The missions of AAUW and Greg Mortenson are very closely aligned. AAUW and Mortenson both believe in breaking down educational barriers for all girls and women in the world. We both believe that the way to fairness for all individuals is through education and that providing educational opportunities for all women, indeed all people, will help banish ignorance and bring about peace. Greg Mortenson is working to do that in Afghanistan and Pakistan, volatile areas of the world, one school and one student at a time. Incidentally, Greg Mortenson is also an AAUW member.
