Greg Mortenson

Struck by the hospitality of villagers in a remote region of Pakistan while recovering from an attempt to summit K2, Greg Mortenson vowed to build them a school. More than 100 schools later, Mortenson is proof of how anyone can make a difference they never imagined possible. In our latest Borders Book Club, Mortenson talks about his stirring tale of adventure and inspiration, Three Cups of Tea. The follow-up to that book, Stones into Schools, traces Mortenson and his intrepid manager, Sarfraz Khan, as they barnstorm around the secluded northeast corner of Afghanistan for weeks with little sleep to establish the first schools there.
