The best humanitarian book you can ever buy

His mission - to promote peace one school at a time in the land the americans forgot after the cold war..

The book is called Three Cups of Tea, couldn't have come into my life at a better time. Maybe it's a sign as I have been organising a several charity climbs and bike rides but have always been uncertain as to who I would wholeheartedly want to give the money to. A charity very close to my heart....The CAI Institute.

Please buy and read...I promise it will too touch your heart as it did mine. The generosity of the good american people is outstanding throughout!

Exert....

Our earth is wounded. Her oceans and lakes are sick; her rivers
are like running sores; The air is filled with subtle poisons. And the oily
smoke of countless hellish fire blackens the sun. Men and women,
scattered from homneland, family, friends, wander desolate and uncertain,
scorched by a toxic sun.....

in this desert of frightened, blind uncertainty, some take refuge in
the pursuit of power. Some become manipulators of illusion and deceit.

If wisdom and harmony still dwell in this world, as other than a dream lost
in an unopened book, they are hidden in our heartbeat.
And it is from our hearts that we cry out. We cry out and our voices
are the single voices of this wounded earth. Our cries are a great wind across the earth
