Have you ever wanted to achieve something really amazing in life? Well, Greg Mortenson wanted to climb a mountain, but he ended up helping thousands of people have a better life.
Greg’s story began with failure. In 1993, he set out to climb the world’s second highest mountain. But he never made it to the top. After five days, he went into a village in northern Pakistan, injured and hungry. The kind villagers there looked after him for several days.
Greg saw that the villagers were very poor, and some of them were ill. The village school didn’t have a roof and the children wrote on the ground with sticks. Greg knew he wanted to do something to help. “I’ll build you a school,” he told the villagers. “I promise.”
Greg went back to America to raise money for the school. He even lived in the car to save money! Finally, he built the school in the village. But this was just the beginning of something bigger! Since then, Greg’s organization has built about 80 schools in Pakistan and other countries.
Greg hasn’t finished yet. He does many other things to help people in poor countries. He has got many prizes, but it’s the smiles of the children he has helped that make him happy!
Greg wrote a book about his story called Three Cups of Tea. It’s an interesting and exciting book which tells us what ordinary people can do with courage and determination!
