THIRSTY FOR GIVING?


Greg Mortonson best selling book dealing with humanitarianism has now been adopted for the younger reader. If you are not familiar with his story in short, he was added by a Pakistani village when he became lost and ill while trying to climb one of the worlds largest mountains. He never forgot the people who helped him and he returned their kindness by building schools for the children. Since 1993 his schools have provided education for over 25,ooo students.
Who would not want to share this book with their child? It will teach them so many life long important lessons a few of which would be the fact that an eduction is not a given, that the world is not as big as you might think and right outside of your everyday box there is someone with an outstretched hand who is in need. Filled with new illustrations and up to date pictures this book will enrich anyone young or old who reads it.
Recommended for ages 8-12.
