Three Cups of Tea
Mila and Gael’s grandmother recently came to visit and left behind a book, Three Cups of Tea. We have developed a nice tradition of swapping books in our family – on both sides.
Three Cups of Tea recounts the journey of Greg Mortenson from a failed attempt to climb K2 to launching a mission to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is an incredible story of inspiration, vision, empathy, and compassion. It is a moving experience to even read about and it underscores one of my favorite quotes:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead
