Title:
Three Cups of Tea
Author: Greg Mortenson
Price: 695
Greg Mortenson recounts his experiences as co-founder of the
Central Asia Institute, a nongovernmental organization that,
since the 1990s, has done exemplary work in Pakistan and Afghanistan,
where it has built and operated schools and improved public
health. He tells how, by working side-by-side, the villagers
and the staff of the CAI have overcome challenges, drawn on
strengths, and worked toward breaking down the ignorance and
prejudice that might otherwise have divided them. It has not
been easy and the need is great, says Mortenson, and underscores
the fact that the positive work of NGOs like the Central Asia
Institute can go far in fighting terrorism.
