Greg Mortensen, Co-founder and Executive Director of nonprofit Central Asia Institute, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. According to a newspaper in Montana, the "Bozeman Daily Chronicle" For the past fifteen years Mortensen has built over 80 schools in remote places in Pakistan and Afganistan. He is trying to further the education of youth, because he wants smart leaders for the future. Mortensen has overcome many obstacles, including his own potential death, to put up these schools. The magnificent thing is he did all this before he was nominated.

Among others who deserved this award is Dr. Denis Mukwege. According to the British Newspaper The Independent, this man has worked his life to help victims of rape. On an average ten women came in every day. Most of these women were raped by multiple men at the same time in public. Then after that they were tortured. Mukwege has helped over 21,000 women. Those women must sing praises to his name for the help he gave them.

 

And let's not forget those who have gone before the President.

People still praise past winner Mother Teresa. According to nobelprize.org, she dedicated herself in the service of her fellow man. She helped anyone who crossed her path. She built homes for orphans and nursing homes for people with leperosy and who were terminally ill. She herself would nurse the people with skin diseases back to health. She would dig out maggots with her own hands out of their wounds. Mother Teresa was completely selfless person and DID those things.

 

I can now see how Obama is so easily comparable to Mother Teresa. Obama and Theordore Roosevelt are like identical twins. Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to create peace between Japan and Russia. According to nobelprize.org, Roosevelt offered himself to be the mediator between the two countries. Roosevelt was the reason for the peace treaty between in Japan and Russia in 1905.
