We are two days away from our fundraising deadline - August 15!
Friends,, do you know why that give me hope?
Because August 15 also happens to be the Independence Day of India. 1947.
I got an email today that said: “Seventy five years ago, India kept her tryst with destiny, shrugging off centuries-old yoke of colonialism to become independent.” it was from Association for India’s Development Inc (AID).

“I was looking at the reaction of some of the Spanish students and they were going “my God, I'm used to looking at the world from this lens where Europe is the center of the globe.” And suddenly they started realizing that there were these other cultural connections happening outside of their sphere. Something changed in the way that they thought about the world.”
— Professor Maurice O’Connor, University of Cádiz, on the students reaction after seeing excerpts of The Good Manners of Colonized Subjects in classes in April.
