"Here (in Pakistan and Afganistan), 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 aer prepared to do anything - even die."
- Haji Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan.
A New York Times best seller, currently unavailable in the UK, is a astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his remarkable humitarian campaign in the Taliban's backyard. 'Three Cups of Tea' tells of one mans failure revealed extraordinary kindness, determination and one promise. Over a decade, Mortenson fufils his promise by building 50 schools, especially for girls, in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban.
His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.
