I am on the 3rd chapter and I can tell already it’s an amazing book… a true story of one mans fight to help the people, especially children, of northern Pakistan and surrounding areas.
The book is Three Cups of Tea. There is a short bio about Greg Mortenson on this site. Here’s his website for the Central Asia Institute.
ETA: I just found he has another website. http://www.gregmortenson.com/welcome.php
Unfortunately they do not accept anything other than money so no knitted items. I’m not asking anyone to donate either, I just thought this was a great book.
