I need to buy another copy of this book, Three Cups of Tea. I have loaned it out and really want to read it again. Now they have published both a little kids' version and a young readers' edition. This is such an amazing story and it is still going on.
This morning, while we were at church, there was a video on CBSNews called No Child Left Behind. It's the story of a 36 year old ER nurse from San Francisco who, while trying to climb K2 in Pakistan in 1992, found his life changed forever. Lost and alone and sick, he walked 58 miles to the nearest village where they nursed him back to health.
He wished to know what he could do for them in return. This gentle, humble man is still raising funds and building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It's 15 years later and the story goes on. The video is only 8:17 minutes out of your life and you have to suffer through a short advertisement but it is worth every minute.
