Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Jeni Fleming (www.jenifleming.com) of the Jazz influenced folk/pop group, The Jeni Fleming Trio is fast becoming one of the Northwest's most sought after vocalists. Recording artists and tour musicians, she and husband Jake (lyricist, songwriter and producer of Three Cups of Tea) 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" (www.penniesforpeace.org) 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).

Product Description
"Three Cups of Tea" was composed by Jake Fleming to accompany the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. The song and the book advocate education in the Islamic countries of central and southwest Asia - specifically the education of girls. The song speaks of heroes who are children relentlessly pursiung their dream of an education even in the face of adversity, opression and poverty. 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 (CAI) (www.ikat.org). 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. Proceeeds from this CD will also help support Hand Me Down Some Silver, Inc., (HMDSS, Inc.) (www.handmedownsomesilver.org) 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, much like this song has for Amira.
