One Book:
"Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson
Everyone is encouraged to read Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. In 1993 mountaineer Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the villagers' 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, working with local people, built not just one but fifty-five schools, especially for girls. This is an adventure story and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.
