Book Club - "Three Cups of Tea"

I ran across a GREAT book that I picked up for book club. It is a work that inspires me to be better, to reach further and to look past my own limited view of the world. This was one of my favourite books that I have read this year and I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone. But seriously if you look on Amazon there are over five hundred people who have reviewed this book with 89% of them giving it five out of five stars. THAT is amazing.

Basically Three Cups of Tea is true story about an young American who enters Pakistan as a mountain climber, who really sees the issues of the country and who against all odds begins a lifelong struggle to make a real change. By dedicating his life to his mission he gives up so much to fulfill his personal mission to build schools and teach girls. His theory was that if you teach the boys they go off to the cities and leave their communities but if you teach the girls then they stay and in turn make the community a better place.

If you want to buy the book make sure you click through the Three Cups of Tea website here which then takes you to Amazon. If you do it this way then 7% of the sale will go to Greg Mortenson’s charity.
