3 cups of tea

i've been searching for this book which was recommended by my friend in california, but didnt find in monaco as well in genova. she remembered me when she read this book, knowing that i'm a mountaineer.

this book is about an unforgettable adventure and inspiring true story of the author greg mortinson, a mountaineer who after failed attempt to climb K2, the world's 2nd highest peak, stumbled into an impoverished pakistani village. while recovering he observed children sitting in the dirt writing with sticks in the sand, and made a promise that he would return building them a school. it became a remarkable humanitarian campaign in which he dedicated his life to promote education and literacy. as of 2007, he established 61 schools which provide education to over 25,000 children in pakistan and afghanistan.

after telling my friend how desperate i am to get this book, i was about to order it in amazon.com, she's so sweet to offer me a copy and mail it from u.s. to italy, great!!! plus, asked my size coz she'll include victoria secret tongs...wow!

thanks nel, cant wait to get that package! love you!
