1. He was very happy with the final results of the finished school. even though he was angry about dying, we he thought about how the children sang, he anger drained away. and also He boasted to a childhood friend about how he helped build a school in Pakistan

2.That everyone in the village wanted to hold Amira, like some kind of baby doll, it seemed very intriguing and kinda heart-warming. At the peak of Mt. everest, They built a school for Balti porters to train for mountain climbing and learn first aid.

1:Jean Hoerni was proud of the Central Asia Institute because he was VERY happy that they had finished the school. Even though Jean was upset about dying he gave the Institute 1 million dollars!

2:
1. One of my favorite things was that Aslam, when he was a little boy his father woke him up really early and told him he was going to school. They walked down the mountain, and to get to the school you would have to swim,but Aslam didn't know how to swim. He got scared so he started crying, but a stranger said not to be afraid.
2. My second favorite part was that Aslam daughter Shakeela was the first girl from her village to go beyond elementary school.

1. Heroni is proud that the school is finished and bragged to a childhood friend about how he helped build a school in Pakistan. He was angry about dying but when he heard the children singing, his anger drained away.
2. How everyone wanted to hold with Amira. It was sweet and mushy.

 1)He is clearly proud about his role in it because:
a) he boasts to an overseas friend, and
b) he donated $1,000,000,000 to the CAI.
 2) The 1st thing that interests me is the fact that the CAI built 3 schools in 3 months when it took Greg 3 years to build 1 on his own.The 2nd thing is that Shakeela's dad thought he would have to plead with Greg like a little man, but didn't, he found out.

1. He was happy that he could help with the finishing of the school and that the children were made him happy because they sang him a song called Mary had a little lamb.
2. That every one extremely wanted to the new baby Amira like they never seen a baby before.Which was very funny and about the man who Mulllah Gulzar, who had tears in his eyes because he had nothing to give him in honor of thanks. That was kind of sad.

1.
a.He was happy that Greg finally brought him a picture.
b. He boated to a friend and said He had built a school.
2.
a.Greg left Amira when she was only a few weeks old. It's interesting to me because most fathers won't leave their kids till they're are at least 1.
b.Everyone wanted to  hold Amira like a baby doll.

2.One detail is that shakeela didn't care what the other boys said and she became the top student and was the first person to move from elementry school to high school.

1.He was so proud he donated 1 million dollars to th CAI another reason is that he boasted to his friend that he built a school an asked what he had done in the last few years.
2.They have school uniforms, this interests me because I thought they might not be able to buy them. Another thing is they accounted for every rupee they spent even though they didn't have that good of an education.

1.) He donated one million dollars to the CAI & he brags that he helped make a school possible to a friend over " The big pond".
2.) I think that Greg , Tara, and Amira leave for Korphe when Amira is 8 months old is interesting because, Amira was a baby when she went on her first overseas voyage & Greg Built a place for women to sew and be with other women is cool because he does it without a complaint.

1 He is proud of giving 1 million dollars to the CIA.
2 After school the boys went away to find jobs and the women stayed. It interests me that the women stay and the men don't. The other thing that interests me is Greg stopped everything he was doing for that one village because it is hard to do something like that.
