Three Cups Of Tea. e astonishing uplifting story of a
real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to
use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban’s
backyard 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 adventure with a celebration of the
humanitarian spirit.
