Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Journey to Change the World... One Child at a Time (repost)

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Journey to Change the World… One Child at a Time By Sarah Thomson, Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin, Jane Godall
Publisher: P u f f i n 2009 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0142414123 | EPUB | 4 MB

In 1993, while climbing one of the world's most difficult peaks, Mortenson became lost and ill, and eventually found aid in the tiny Pakistani village of Korphe. He vowed to repay his generous hosts by building a school; his efforts have grown into the Central Asia Institute, which has since provided education for 25,000 children. Retold for middle readers, the story remains inspirational and compelling. Solid pacing and the authors' skill at giving very personal identities to people of a different country, religion and culture help Mortenson deliver his message without sounding preachy; he encourages readers to put aside prejudice and politics, and to remember that the majority of people are good.
