The history of one man's campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti-Americanreaches of Asia
In 1993 Greg Mortenson was the survivor of a failed attempt to climb K2, lost through Pakistan's Karakoram Himalaya. After he was taken back to cure him self by the people of animpoverished Pakistani village, Mortenson promised to return one day and build them a school.

Award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has collaborated on this spellbinding account of Mortenson's incredibleaccomplishments in a region where Americans are often feared and hated. In pursuit of his goal, Mortenson has survived kidnapping, repeated death threats, and big separations from his wife andchildren. But his success speaks for itself. At last, his Central Asia Institute had built fiftyfive schools. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how oneman really is changing the world one school at a time.Three Cups of Tea is a truly inspiring story many climbers have passed through the same areas of Pakistan as Mortenson, and made the same promisesto the local people to help them in some way or another; but the difference between Greg and so many others is that he followed through. He didn't set out to be a hero, he didn't even set out to makea difference he just set out to fulfill a promise that would have been so easy to forget. Despite the many obstacles in his way he raised the money and returned to Pakistan, but it took two years,more money and many road-blocks, to build that first school.So I think why we read this book was to teach us that every goal we make in our life we can do it, no matter the situations and to teach us...
