Description
Greg Mortenson stumbled, lost and delirious, into a remote Himalayan village after a failed climb up K2. The villagers saved his life, and he vowed to go back and build them a school. The remarkable story of his promise kept is now very best for reading aloud. Told within the voice of Korphe’s children, this story illuminates the humanity and culture of a relevant and distant a part of the arena in gorgeous collage, even as sharing a riveting example of how one person can change thousands of lives.
