In his book, “Three Cups of Tea, nurse turned humanitarian Greg Mortenson described his experience as a mountaineer who took a wrong turn, ended up being saved by Pakistani villagers and repaid the kindness in a way atypical of the U.S. in central Asia.His charity group has since established over 130 schools, mostly for girls, in remote parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the U.S. military is now turning to him to find out how he does it.
Mortenson’s new book is “Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
