Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools especially for girls in remote villages across the forbidding and breathtaking landscape of Pakistan and Afghanistan, just as the Taliban rose to power. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U-turn Online Thrift Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48098872524987,"sku":"B0431","price":54.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/2483\/7819\/files\/IMG_4027_cropped.webp?v=1783938664","url":"https:\/\/shop.uturn.org.za\/products\/three-cups-of-tea-by-greg-mortenson-david-oliver-relin","provider":"U-turn Online Thrift Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
