Three Cups of Tea


Greg Mortenson came to Bainbridge today and talked about his book, Three Cups of Tea. His story is incredible... if you haven't read it yet, you should!

1 penny can buy a child in Afghanistan a pencil. $20 will provide school supplies for a student for a year. $300 can give a scholarship for higher education. $600 can pay a teacher for a year. $50,000 can provide a school for the children of an entire village and 5 years of support.
