One Library, One Boook: Three Cups of Tea
About the Book:
After a failed attempt to climb the second highest mountain in the world, K2, Greg Mortenson accidentally wandered into the village of Korphe in rural northern Pakistan, which starts him on a new mission to build schools and other projects across northern Pakistan. This is the story of his life and his mission to help those who are living in poverty in a politically unstable country. His work is especially geared at educating women, who would not have any education at all. The story of the three cups of tea is that the first time you have tea with someone, you are a stranger. The second time you have tea with someone, you are the honored guest. The third cup of tea makes you family. Mortenson learns many wonderful lessons from the people he meets, showing him that even people with no electricity and no education have their own kind of wisdom. Mortenson is proof that one man really can make a difference.
