Three Cups of Tea

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations -- One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson has been on my to- read list for years now. I finally made the time to read it and am glad that I did: what an incredible story!

Three Cups of Tea is the true story of a mountaineer's failed attempt to climb K-2 and how this failure turned into a lifelong calling to build schools for the incredibly poor isolated villages in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Mortenson's insight into the people and cultures of these countries and his willingness to learn from them is truly exceptional. His respect for these villagers and their respect for him is palpable. It is a remarkable story of people brought together by a common purpose.

I don't what to give too much away. Read it and enjoy the journey!!!
