The story is reminiscent of "Three Cups of Tea". In each book, one person decides to devote his life to making a difference in the lives of children in the developing world through education. The main difference is that this book is readable! (I had to force myself to finish "...Tea"). John Wood builds schools, libraries, and computer labs in Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and India. He also endows scholarships for girls in these countries. Both organizations do great work. But Wood tells his story in a much more enjoyable manner than David Oliver Relin tells the story of Greg Mortenson. Highly recommended!
