Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines
I don't know how to rate this book but i really really really really loved this book.
It was an inspirational story of Greg Mortenson.How Greg Mortenson's failed attempt at climbing Pakistan's K2, turned into a mission of building school for children.And his journey is still continue,
I loved his idea of fighting terrorism by building school in rural areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
(If we try to resolve terrorism with military might and nothing else, then we will be no safer than we were before 9/11. If we truly want a legacy of peace for our children, we need to understand that this is a war that will ultimately be won with books, not with bombs.)
