The inspiring account of one man’s campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti- American reaches of Asia
In 1993 Greg Mortenson was the exhausted survivor of a failed attempt to ascend K2, an American climbing bum wandering emaciated and lost through Pakistan’s Karakoram Himalaya. After he was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of an impoverished Pakistani village, Mortenson promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time—Greg Mortenson’s one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban. Award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has collaborated on this spellbinding account of Mortenson’s incredible accomplishments in a region where Americans are often feared and hated. In pursuit of his goal, Mortenson has survived kidnapping, fatwas issued by enraged mullahs, repeated death threats, and wrenching separations from his wife and children. But his success speaks for itself. At last count, his Central Asia Institute had built fifty-five schools. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world—one school at a time.

評分我没看过“奋斗”,也没看过“蜗居”,至今赖着不看“阿凡达”,却暗自窃喜地鼓励自己继续这么out着,因为我最近沉浸在三本不幸的书中。 当我在三亚沙滩上日光浴时,书中的摩顿森正躲在血淋淋的羊皮底下,冒着鸦片犯子的炮火,去建立慈善学校;我靠着阳光普照的沙发品着铁观音...
評分大学毕业时曾有同学倡议,在我们毕业十周年时集体捐款,建一所希望小学。如今,十周年已经过去好几年了,前几天聚会,重提此话题,七嘴八舌。有的说,捐款最后都不知道去了哪里。还有的说,教育真的能帮到小孩子吗?你让他们看到外面物欲的世界,只是增加他们的痛苦。还有的说...
評分读过《三杯茶》,想起三句话 爱因斯坦说: “不要羡慕做一个成功的人,要羡慕做一个有价值的人。” 教会里一位美国牧师说: “我们人类,存在的意义&所有工作的目的,是为了这个世界变得更美好。” 毛泽东说: “星星之火,可以燎原。” 奉献。是个慢活儿。 也许做了一辈...
