This is quite compelling book that had provoke me much...first- of course - to the beauty of nature in the high mountains of Pakistan, and also the need for education in the rural part of poverty striken countries.
Greg Mortenson has done a great deal to help the boys and girls in the desert and mountains of the balkan countries for better future because of all the schools and tuitions he provided through his foundation.
In Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time , Greg Mortenson, and journalist David Oliver Relin, recount the journey that led Mortenson from a failed 1993 attempt to climb Pakistan’s K2, the world’s second highest mountain, to successfully establish 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 promote peace with books, not bombs, and successfully bring education and hope to remote communities in central Asia. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world—one school at a time.
