That nice of that school in New Jersey to put his book cover into a drawing and put it in the center of the school.
We just got to the fourth chapter of this story. It,s a great story of one family who give,s other people a chance in a new life.
This story give encourage to young people.
I think the guy whose book about, is a guy who likes to help everyone who need it. All I know he likes go place on place and teaching as much as he can.
I think this blog gives us a great opportunity to be in contact with other students and think about make a better world...why not? Let's do it!!
The history about Greg is very interesting . I think so what the people who he help remember for ever him. He is the kind of person who the world need at this time.
I am think the Greg is very nice. I'm wish in this world would be a lot of Gregs.
We read 'Three Cups of Tea' for a book club. This is a wonderful way to reach out to people in need. I've also heard him speak.
I love this book because I think that Greg is a wonderful person.When Greg helped and taught a lot at all these children, he wasn't thinking about himself so Greg was thinking to helped to everybody.
The "Three Cups of Tea" story is about the how one person can change to our living environment. Even though how hard situation are coming to you and your family. Greg Mortenson to when he had first visited that 3rd world country in Asia somewhere. Maybe he didn't realize, but what he went through and seen his missions pushed him to strongly. He wants to do that mission for young children.
One person is important...Because that can be change the world.I wish I could do...and you,too!!-who read this.^^
I think Greg, is an amazing person and I also think he was touch by the people needs at that village. this story make`s me think about how fourtuned we are, because we don`t have to struggle whit education, found or anything of that and those people have to use what they have, so god bless Greg
Two things that I love to see are people learning and mountains. The pictures from Three Cups of Tea are full of people who love to learn and majestic mountains, just like we have here in Colorado.
It makes me smile to read the things that our students write. Your thoughts are going out to the world when you write in a forum such as this. I will check in often to see your work!
Looking at the picture of the school that Greg is helping so hard to build in Korpe shows that Greg wants the kids in the town of Korpe to reach for high goals.It shows this in the picture because when the children look behind there school they will see the the hight mountian top of K2 and that will make them motivated to reach for there highest goals in there life. Thanks Greg
This was a wonderful book. I'm glad we read it in book club. I wish more people would think of others and support education, especially for women.
That sounds like a great story,I havent read it yet but I think one of the best rights for children in all the world is to get a education and what he did is a great step for those communities far away from civilization. People can expand their knowledge.
This is a fasctionating book. In particular, the free service and his wanting to support some children in the undeveloped 3rd world is very impressive and inspired. I strongly recommend this book to those who haven't yet read this.
