    Mike Frastacky, a carpenter by trade, put his own life at great risk as he built the Maktab Hazrat Osman School in the low-literacy area of Nahrin, Afghanistan. He empowered the community to take ownership of the school and operate it themselves. Despite his death in Afghanistan, the school remains open to a thousand girls and boys from 10 nearby villages.
