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 inhabitant's kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three cups of tea are 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.
