Stones into schools

Highly recommend this book. An account of an organization bringing literacy to some of the most remote places on Earth.
I found Three Cups of Tea to be much more compelling, and this book to be more procedural. And I don't know what to think in light of questions that have come up about the veracity of Mortenson's stories. But I strongly support the idea of what he is trying to do, “promoting peace with books,” and specifically, educating girls. It is just disheartening that this mission is tainted.
Originally I had rather enjoyed this book. A while ago I learned that Mortenson had been quiet dishonest.
Here's a refresher for those who might need it:
