Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
Selected By:
Sue Clever
Let's discuss the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.
Here's the summary from the back of the book:
"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 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."
