One Book One Community

We’re back! Sorry you haven’t heard from us lately. We’ve been rushing around in a flurry of activity getting ready for the big event of the year. This year the community book we’ve chosen is Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. This amazing book tells the true story of Mortenson’s failed attempt at climbing K2. He stumbled down the mountain only to collapse in a small Pakistani village called Korphe where the people nursed him back to health. While he was there he saw the cold slab of rock they called the school and decided that he would repay their generosity by helping them build a school.

This is an amazing story of someone just trying to do this one little thing who ended up starting a movement that has changed thousands of lives. Come join us as we spend the month of October learning more about Mortenson’s story and the lives of people in the Afghanistan/Pakistan area. Click here for a list of events.
