Kurzbeschreibung
‘Here we drink three cups of tea to do business; the first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend, and the third, you join our family, and for our family we are prepared to do anything – even die.’ Haji Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram mountains, Pakistan In 1993, after a terrifying and disastrous attempt to climb K2, a mountaineer called Greg Mortenson drifted, cold and dehydrated, into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram Mountains. Moved by the 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 remote villages across the forbidding and breathtaking landscape of Pakistan and Afghanistan, just as the Taliban rose to power. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.

Das ist mit Abstand eines der besten Bücher, das ich je gelesen habe und einer der unglaublichsten Menschen, von denen ich je gehört habe. Hol Dir dieses Buch.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book talks about "forgotten" areas in Afghanistan and Pakistan and the way people live there. Even though, they are very poor, they welcome and help a climber who had failed the attempt to climb K2 and got lost. And seeing their poverty, this climber, Greg Mortenson, promises to come back later and build a school for them. It is amazing what he is going througn, not only to round up the money for this school, but later, what time, energy and patience he puts into this project. He doesn't stop at one school, but perseveres and flies back and forth from the USA to that area and goes on building other schools, centers for women, etc. He sees education as a means to fight terrorism, as children who are educated will not become terrorists. He ventures into dangerous places, especially after 9/11 and sees the terrible cruelty with which the Taliban operated.
It is just incredible what this one person has started and what he has accomplished.
A lot of people have worked for peace and done a lot, but Greg Mortenson has done and sacrificed so much that he is definitely my hero in this area !

This guy has an incredible story to tell - if you can get past the annoying foreword by the journalist who wrote it! Seriously that foreword nearly put me off the book altogether - if it does the same for you, trust me and push through it - you won't be sorry! Amazing story about Greg Mortenson and the work he's been doing - make sure you read the follow-up book too ("stones into schools", he wrote it himself). The way the journalist writes about him and idolises him is a bit annoying, but be inspired by the story itself.
