"Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

About the book:

"In 1993 a moutaineer named Greg Moretnson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by 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 the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. Hist story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit."
