I have just finished reading one of the most incredible and inspirational books that I have ever encountered, and I had to share it with all of you!
The books title is 3 Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time.It tells the story of Greg Mortenson, a mountain climber who was trying to scale K2 in 1993. After a failed attempt, he became lost on the return trip down the mountain, and was taken into a remote village in the mountains of Pakistan and nursed back to health. Here's a quote from Tom Brokaw after he heard about Greg and read his story;
Three Cups of Teais one of the most remarkable adventure stories of our time. Greg Mortenson's dangerous and difficult quest to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan is not only a thrilling read, it's proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world .' -Tom Brokaw
Do yourself a favor, and read this book.
