Book Report: Three Cups of Tea

A book about the life of Greg Mortensen - a mountaineer turned director of the Central Asia Institute. His failed attempt to summit K2 in 1993 led him make a promise to build a school for the village that nursed him back to health. He returned and built a school in eastern Pakistan to fulfill that promise and has been building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan ever since.

An interesting read that seemed relevant to my life at this point.
