Greg Mortenson, on his way to climb K2, the world's second tallest mountain, gets lost and, cold and hungry, wanders into a Pakistani village where he is taken in willingly. Moved by their kindness, he promises to return to build a school for the children there. Back then, all the kids had for a school was a teacher that came three days a week, mud, sticks, and cold hard dirt. Greg Mortenson changed that, and built over 78 schools after.
There is 3 different books written by Greg Mortenson about this story, Three Cups of Tea (the adult version), Three Cups of Tea (the young reader's edition, which is what I read), and Listen to The Wind (a picture book which I also read).
