Three Cups Of Tea
DETAILED SUMMARY / BACK COVER
In 1993, after a failed attempt to climb K2, mountaineer Greg Mortenson found himself in an impoverished village in Pakistan's Karakoram Mountains. Deeply moved by the villagers' unexpected kindness, he made a life-altering promise: to return and build a school. This book recounts Mortenson's remarkable journey over the subsequent decade, during which he established not one, but fifty-five schools—with a particular focus on educating girls—across the challenging landscapes of Pakistan and Afghanistan, even as the Taliban gained influence.
