3 cups of Tea~ Scrutiny for truth?

3-cups-of-tea-150x150

Dilshad Brings in two journalists and Media Producers to join her and share the perspectives of the common man and the analysis of the journalists including some dialogues with Afghan reporter.

Under the burden of a 60 Minutes exposé on CBS and a blistering, 75-page takedown by adventure writer Jon Krakauer, Greg Mortenson’s phenomenally successful weaving together of fact and fiction has already faced more scrutinythan most pop philanthropy ever receives in its entire shelf life.

While opinions about Mortenson have always varied within the international development community and among humanitarian workers, that debate never really got a full airing. The ideas and philosophy driving the Three Cups of Tea mania for school-building has become a bit of an orthodoxy. Orthodoxies usually have the effect of muting debate. Pakistanis should know. Pakistan has endured far too much unjustified and illegitimate orthodoxy in its short history.

Interestingly how the conflicting views and critical sides to it.. is shared by the three of them on this

platform of Dilshad where her pursuit for objective analysis thrives and is worth paying attention!!
