Ever heard of Korphe, Parkistan? How about the Karakorham Highway or the valleys of the Hindu Kush? These and even more remote locations are just the places that American Greg Mortenson chose to build schools for children who had never had any formal education, nor even seen a real school.
"Three Cups of Tea" is a journey into the promise one man made to a small group of children after their village community saved his life following a disastrous attempt to climb K2.
The author never imagined that his one small promise would eventually lead to a lifetime of building community-based education, but it did, and in this book we learn about how it happened - in fifty-five villages - in Afghanistan and Pakistan, one school at a time.
I love books that inspire, and this one did. I think you will enjoy it as well!
