Mortenson, Greg, David Oliver Relin and Sarah Thomson. 

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Journey to Change the World... One Child at a Time.

In 1993, while climbing one of the world's most difficult peaks, Mortenson became lost and ill, and eventually found aid in the tiny Pakistani village of Korphe. He vowed to repay his generous hosts by building a school; his efforts have grown into the Central Asia Institute, which has since provided education for 25,000 children. Retold for middle readers, the story remains inspirational and compelling.  (Young Reader’s Edition)
