In THREE CUPS OF TEA: One Man’s Mission to Promote . . . One School at a Time
Greg Mortenson, and acclaimed journalist David Oliver Relin, recount the
unlikely journey that led Mortenson
from a failed attempt to climb Pakistan’s K2, the world’s second highest
mountain, to successfully building
schools in some of the most remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. By
replacing guns with pencils, rhetoric with reading, Mortenson combines his unique background with his
intimate knowledge of the third-world
to fight terrorism with books, not bombs, and successfully bring education and
hope to remote villages in central Asia.
"Three Cups of Tea" is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true
story of how one man is really
changing the word - one school at a time.
