Product Description:
Three Cups of Tea was composed by Jake Fleming at the request of Greg Mortenson, father of Amira and author of the book Three Cups of Tea. The song and book advocate education in the Islamic countries of central and southwest Asia specifically, the education of girls. The heros in the song are the children who, in the face of adversity, oppression and poverty, relentlessly pursue their dream of an education. 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. 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. Proceeds from this CD will also help support Hand Me Down Some Silver, Inc., 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 similar to this project. Jeni Fleming of the Jazz influenced folk/pop group, the Jeni Fleming Trio is fast becoming one of the Northwests most sought after vocalists. Recording artists and tour musicians, she and husband Jake (lyricist, songwriter and producer) also teach 60 private music students in their Montana home. Amira Mortenson is a 4th grader who loves music and aspires to sing on Broadway. A Pennies for Peace activist, she inspires American students to buy pencils for their peers in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Amira travels to the Islamic third world to personally deliver school supplies and greets children with Asalaam Alaikum (peace be with you).

I wonder how much we could accomplish if instead of spending time in church listening to someone tell us how we should live, we passed the basket around and spent that time and money helping others as Greg Mortenson has done. Books like "Three Cups of Tea" are my inspiration. God bless Greg Mortenson and his entire family. I have shared this book with a coworker and intend to purchase more copies to share.

This is the second book I purchased. I read the first one and gave it away as Greg has requested. The book is so important to me that I had to have my own copy.

I love everything about "Three Cups of Tea", including this song, which distills the book into a powerful song. My church is adopting CAI as a world peace project, and I was wondering how to bring the information to the members who have not read the book. This CD arrived in the mail, and solved that problem for me!

This wonderful book describes how one man has made a difference in the world today. If we all only had Greg's heart...
