Stones into Schools

Mortenson’s second book picks up where his bestselling ‘Three Cups of Tea’ left off in 2003. This traces his efforts to work in a new country, the secluded northeast corner of Afghanistan. His efforts to establish the first schools there were diverted by the October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan but he returned to his Afghanistan work in 2007, establishing schools in the heart of Taliban country. A great read.
