Three+Cups+of+Tea+by+Mortenson

In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram Mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants’ kindness, he promised to return and build a school. //Three Cups of Tea// is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade, Mortenson built not just one but over fifty-five schools – especially for girls – in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.
