highly recommended

"Three Cups of Tea" was composed by Jake Fleming to accompany the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. The song and the book advocate education in the Islamic countries of central and southwest Asia - specifically the education of girls. The song speaks of heroes who are children relentlessly pursiung their dream of an education even in the face of adversity, opression and poverty. For lack of adequate facilities, children often write their lessons in the sand with sticks. In reality, one penny buys a pencil and one dollar will fund a child's education for an entire month. To date Greg has helped build 55 schools in remote villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan with the help of his non-profit, Central Asia Institute (CAI) (www.ikat.org). Three cups of tea is an extraordinary story of one man's efforts to make a change (Viking 2006). Proceeds from this CD will help support CAI and Greg's efforts. Proceeeds from this CD will also help support Hand Me Down Some Silver, Inc., (HMDSS, Inc.) (www.handmedownsomesilver.org) a 501(c)3 corporation founded by Jake and Jeni Fleming. This scholarship foundation aims to fund private music lessons, purchase instruments, help students realize their own recording projects, and provides students with long-lasting, inspirational musical experiences, much like this song has for Amira.

What reading this book has done for me

This book has changed me. I am still trying to come to grips with what that means. I feel different and better. It has touched my soul in a way that no other book has done for many a decade. It is almost an unbelieveable story. The fact that Dr. Greg is still alive is a miracle in itself. Here it is almost 2am PST and I could not get to sleep so I thought I would donate to the CAI, buy another book, and write this review.

I am a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. I choose to watch FOX News for some reason. I watch the other stations as well and I dislike FOX the least. I voted Republican in the last two elections only because I thought the other options would be worse. This book has taught me how wrong I was. It has layed out facts that no one would ever hear on any news station. The information provided by Greg and David was startling and it has caused me to rethink a lot of my views.

My recommendation is that if you do not read this book, you will be missing out on a life experience (thats right, this book was an experience, almost as if one was there themselves) and you will be missing out on enhancing your life in a way I find hard to express. You must read this book. You owe it to yourself, your family, your community, and the world you live in.

Amira, daughter of Greg Mortenson, adds a beautiful musical component to accompany his best-selling book "Three Cups of Tea".

Three Cups of Tea Book

Wonderful book and an education on Pakistan and Afganistan. A must read in today's world.

3 cups of tea cd

This is a lovely companion song to the book Three Cups of Tea. I adored the book and it is nice to hear gently sounds that remind me of the power of women's voices and the serenity of eastern sounds.

Beautiful haunting song

I bought this cd along with the book by the same name for both myself and my husband. I found it beautifully executed and find myself humming it throughout the day. I will purchase more of Jeni Flemming's music.
