Rep. Mary Bono (R - Calif.) says:

Rep. Mary Bono (R - Calif.) says:
"I've learned more from Greg Mortenson about the causes of terrorism than I did during all our briefings on Capital Hill. He represents the best of America. “Greg’s work brings people into the fold. He has real love for these people. That’s something bureaucracy will never have: genuine love and caring for these people.”

President Bill Clinton says:

President Bill Clinton says:
He (Greg Mortenson) is the ultimate social entrepreneur ... a guy with a good idea, prepared to start small and stay with it as long as it takes to have a big impact and commit a lifetime to it. ... he is effective in an area where Americans are not popular, because he relates to people as human beings.
