Due to popular demand, the CAI has published annual reports on its activities and new initiatives, as well as providing follow-up coverage on existing projects. The reports are enticingly presented in article form with a wealth of stunning and heart-warming imagery.
Pennies for Peace »
Through schools and education, the CAI has been instrumental in the security and prosperity of the central Asia region. Pennies for Peace is an early initiative begun by Greg Mortenson in 1994 to involve school children in the United States in the cause of the CAI. By collecting millions of pennies through school and community fundraising projects, children in the US have been able to provide the gift of education to their less fortunate peers. It has been, and continues to be, a great success.
