Thank you, Greg

Letter April 18, 2011
Greg’s books have inspired me and have changed my life.

DECATUR, GA, US: This is with reference to your report of April 17 titled “Three cups of tea: ‘US author fabricated charity work in Pakistan’”

Greg’s books have inspired me and have changed my life. After reading Three Cups of Tea in 2006, I went to Tibet and found The Jatson Chumig School and Orphanage in Lhasa, Tibet. For the past five years, I have been volunteering there, following Greg’s mission of changing lives. Since I began The Jatson Chumig Educational Corporation, a non-profit venture, 96 per cent of all funds raised have gone directly to support this organisation in Lhasa. I have read and reread his books and use them as a template for never giving up in the face of adversity. Greg’s work has been a great inspiration in my life and has allowed me to be instrumental in helping hundreds and hundreds of Tibetan orphans. I thank him for making my life, and those of these children, better.
