Here's a description of book courtesy of Midge, who recommended it:

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.
