Three Cups of Tea - Mortenson & Relin


Wonderful book. When reading this, I wonder how many feel like they want to drop everything and move to Pakistan. Greg Mortenson built each of these schools in Pakistan with about $12,000 and hired teachers who are paid $1 a day which is a decent wage in their economy. Does that make sense? Doesn't it astound? Many American individuals can easily afford to build a school in Central Asia or Africa without sacrificing their standard of living.

I feel frowny about this. I want to go somewhere.
