Can you imagine being stranded high in the mountains, with friends and family far away? Mountain climber Greg Mortenson spent a winter in a remote village in Pakistan, dependent on the care and generosity of a small band of villagers who have lived the same simple lifestyle for generations. Greg is astounded by the village children's idea of school - squatting in the cold, drawing and writing in the dirt with a stick for a pencil, and taught occasionally by an itinerant teacher. He vows to return to Pakistan and build a school, a vow which seems impossible to keep when his first appeals for help in the United States are answered by only one contribution.
If you would like to participate in an MVM book group to read the fascinating story of Greg's determination to keep his promise, join our Three Cups of Tea bookgroup. We will meet early some evening in January to kick off the book group, use this blog to communicate our thoughts about the book, and reconvene at the end of our reading. We'll celebrate with tea, of course. Email Nancy Kane at nancy.kane@bhrsd.org or call me at school if you would like to participate.
