Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time Review

This book is about the American Greg Mortenson,(SPOILER ALERT!) who grew up with is dad on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (1958 to 1973).His father made the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center a teaching hospital. In July 1992, Greg Mortenson's sister Christa, died from a massive seizure with epilepsy on the night to a baseball movie, Field of Dreams in Dysersville, Iowa. To honor his sister in 1993, Mortenson climbed K2, the world's second highest mountain in the Karakoram area. Lost mortenson found himself in a village called Korphe he saw the kids writing outside in the cold with dirt and sticks and promised the chief Haji Ali he would build a school for him.

I liked the book because of how one man can change the world with no money and only his two hands. also because in Pakistan the first cup of tea you are a stranger the second a friend and the third you are family and I know Greg Mortenson is Definitely more than family. a few months ago I had the chance to meet Mr.Mortenson and he has such a bright spirit and he is so down to earth and truly is amazing. I think the message that this book is trying to get out is even though you are only one person you can change the world. Please go get this book and see how you can make this world a better and more educated place.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time Overview

The 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.
