the neccesity of bulding a bridge to build a school links to the cities issue of what building to put charter schools in.

Reading this book reminded me a lot of the kite runner for one reason main reason. I felt as the author Greg in Three Cups of Tea and Baba from the Kite Runner had one similar characteristic. That was giving back to the community. Even thought they both gave back in different ways it was still a characteristic they shared. In Kite Runner Baba gave back to his community by creating an orphanage. In Greg’s case he gave back by creating this school with this community. This was the main similarities in which I saw between both books.

Week Three: Betania I agree that reading three cups of tea reminds me of the kite runner. the major issue in the book and in the middle east today is the rise and actions of the taliban.
