Hi All,
I have to share with you a very special book, one which you will be so glad
you read.  It is "Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight
Terrorism...One School at a Time," by Greg Mortenson and David Relin.  It is
a new NF title for adults.

Mortenson has been building schools (without any US gov't assistance) in
Pakistan and Afghanistan for many years.  He is a true hero and there is
speculation that he may receive the Nobel Peace Prize. It is the most
inspiring book I've read in 10 years, and I read a lot of books, like most
of us do. 

This is the website for the Central Asia Institute which Mortenson heads,

http://www.ikat.org/

but you must read the book to fully understand this noble man's sacrifices
and service to promote the true American spirit that most of world never
sees.
