Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin - Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time Review

I can't even begin to share how impaortant I feel this story is.  While this country is spending billions on what we like to call the fight on terror, Greg Mortenson manages to go into Pakistan and Afghanistan and build schools.  He learns the languages and the customs.  He acts respectful and takes advice.  He keeps his promises.  He lives on almost nothing so that every penny can go to the children who need his help.  I'm overwelmed that all these things seem so novel. Mr. Mortenson didn't start out to change the world.  He just wanted to build a school in a village which had nursed him back to health, then he kept doing the next right thing.  If more of us did even a tiny fraction of what he does, I'm pretty sure that Americans wouldn't have such a bad reputation around the world.  He's got it right.
