'Here we drink three cups of tea to do business; the first you are
a stranger, the second you become a friend, and the third, you join
our family, and for our family we are prepared to do anything -
even die.' Haji Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram mountains,
Pakistan In 1993, after a terrifying and disastrous attempt to
climb K2, a mountaineer called Greg Mortenson drifted, cold and
dehydrated, into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram
Mountains. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to
return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that
promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade
Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools - especially
for girls - in remote villages across the forbidding and
breathtaking landscape of Pakistan and Afghanistan, just as the
Taliban rose to power. His story is at once a riveting adventure
and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.
