Three cups of tea

Since I am in UNT I go to the gym every afternoon, but yesterday as it was raining I decided to stay in my room and finish the novel I was reading. The title of the novel is Three Cups of Tea, and it's about an American who lives in Montana most of the time, but he spends some months of the year in Pakistan for building schools. Many years ago he was an alpinist. He tried to climb on the K2 (a mountain of The Himalaya, in Pakistan). When he was there, he got lost and when he was found he arrived to a very poor town. There he saw children didn't have a school to go to. They took classes outdoors and they wrote on the sand. They had no books, no notebooks. Then, he decided to build a school for them. He promised the old man of the town that he would return and build a school. He had no idea of what he could do to get the money to the school. He came back to the States and wrote to many important people to get money but nobody answered him. I'm not gonna tell you all the story but he could build many schools, especially for girls in Pakistan and he began to build schools in Afganistan too. He had to struggle through a number of challenges because it was the war in Afganistan (2005). He was a candidate for the Nobel Prize in 2009.
