Three Cups of Tea

Posted by: AllStars in 09 AllStars, DET Trial Blog, Literacy, tags: Really Big Beliefs Project

We’ve been reading a book called “Three Cups of Tea” which is a true story about a mountain climber, Greg Mortenson, who works hard to build schools for remote villages in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

We are enjoying hearing about Greg’s trials and adventures as he learns

tolerance,

acceptance and

respect

for the

values, views and beliefs

of the people he is working hard to help.

 

The story teaches us that by listening to , talking with and sharing our lives with others we will enhance and expand our own lives and experiences.

We haven’t fifnished the book yet – we will let you know how Greg gets on!

   Hello everyone!
   How is everyone going?
   Three Cups of Tea looks like a wonderful book! Who is it by?
   I was just wondering if anyone made it into selective?
