Book # 7: Stones into Schools

by Greg Mortenson

This is the second book about Greg's inspirational work of building schools for girls in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  The first, Three Cups of Tea, was lent to me by my sister and was an amazing story.  This one is nothing less.  It is well-written, intriguing, and meaningful.  I highly  recommend it as it gives a glimpse into the society of Afghanistan and Pakistan, while documenting the work that the Central Asia Institute (a group Greg set up) is doing.  The tasks and undertakings that are overcome are unbelievable; and frankly, I can't even begin to do the book justice.  So just go get a copy, make a cup of tea, and read it!  You won't regret it.
