Three Cups of Tea

I just wanted to thank JoLynne for recommending the book "Three Cups of Tea." It is an amazing story and one that can really move a person to want to act. One of my favorite parts, other than the story itself, is when a thirteen-year-old Jewish boy from Philadelphia hears the story and donates over $1000 of his bar mitzvah money to the cause. He says "It makes no difference that I'm a Jew sending money to help Muslims. We all need to work together to plant the seeds of peace." Powerful stuff! Thanks again, Jo and Carl!
