I just finished reading a very inspirational book that chronicles the journey of Greg Mortenson from mountaineer to philanthropist. His book "Three Cups of Tea", written by David Oliver Relin, recounts the trials and tribulations Mortenson faced while attempting to build a school in one of the most remote regions of Pakistan. It provides an unbiased look into the lives and families that have been unjustly stereotyped by Westerners in light of the most recent conflicts between the the US and the Middle East. His philosophy that education (and the education of girls) is what will eventually bring peace to the Middle East is brilliant. May the world be blessed by more people like him...(follow the link to check out more about his mission and how you can help).
