Book: Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson
Some failures lead to phenomenal successes, and this American nurse’s unsuccessful attempt to climb K2, the world’s second tallest mountain, is one of them. Dangerously ill when he finished his climb in 1993, Mortenson was sheltered for seven weeks by the small Pakistani village of Korphe. In return, he promised to build the impoverished town’s first school, a project that grew into the Central Asia Institute, which has since constructed
more than 50 schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan.
