Oh Catherine- it is the best book! You must get it. It's an amazing true story about an American mountain climber who got lost on his way down from a climb in Pakistan. A local tribe took him in, and he spent a few days with them. He was struck by their lack of any sort of education system, so as he left, he promised to return to build them a school. The rest is (recent) history- it's a MUST READ! I couldn't put it down.
My stack; my favorites.
Hi Beth,
