Stones into Schools


A follow up to the book three cups of tea. This book has the same story line where Mortenson is building schools however, in this book he is in Afghanistan instead of Pakistan. Mortenson in Stones into Schools is faced with terrorism. Afghanistan presented Mortenson with more than just making money for the schools but he had to go deeper than that. He even met with known terrorist to get their approval for one school. Mortenson put aside the fears that most would have dealing with terrorism. He truly went deep into the culture and became accustom with their ways and beliefs on dealing with educating the young. I thought this book was just as good as the first however, some say that the book is to repetitive. I feel this book can stand alone, the story line may be the same however, new and exciting accomplishments come from this book.
