"Three Cups of Tea is" one of the most remarkable adventure stories where Greg Mortenson went through dangerous and difficult situations and had a mission to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. During this period of time, he encounters many difficulties to promote literacy and education for girls in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. His main focus was to educate the girls in order to promote the equality among the gender within the society. He believed that if girls were educated then it would help to decrease the birth rate, infant immortality and poverty as well. His major effort was to fight terrorism and promote peace. During his mission, he faced several difficulties; he was kidnapped in Pakistan and escaped a firefight between Afghan and the war people and he was criticized by many people who were against the Muslims. But in the end he succeeded in his mission to establish schools and educate the children in the villages. For his humanitarian efforts he was awarded and well appreciated by the people throughout the world.
It is obvious that this adventure of Greg Mortenson is not an easy route to lead one’s life for the sake of others. Likewise Greg Mortenson, a commitment to serve others has always been on the forefront. As a young Christian student, I have always been engrossed in helping my community. We were taught to serve mankind. My involvement in community service has always meant a lot to me. It brings a feeling of satisfaction to help people in need. I am committed to assisting others and being part of a cause which drives me in my personal philosophy of life.
As for now, Global Beginnings has not only helped me to become who I am but also has taught me different aspects about life. These aspects are concerned with the culture around me. It has helped me not only to experience the cultures and lifestyles of different people but develop ideas on how I can contribute something for the people around me. Now, I see myself as a person who is willing to lend a hand to contribute something to the society where I become a part of it. One aspect that I have learned from Greg Mortenson experience is that one must respect and appreciate each other’s culture in order to bring peace and harmony thus during my stay in Global Beginnings, I am here to push myself further to gain a wide range of knowledge from the European culture and implying that knowledge in my daily life. With some dedication and determination we can all contribute and change the world in which we live.
