Care to donate any story books?

A school for the underprivileged in Bangalore would welcome your story book contribution. Their wish list on Amazon is here. A story book collection drive launched in 2009 was successful, but I wish to continue the effort.

Happy Mother's Day

Dear Readers,
Commercialization sure has taken over. It is perhaps not as crazy as Valentine's Day but crazy nonetheless. Yet, there are so many better ways to pay homage to what a Mother truly stands for.
Marianne, my blogger friend, spent time volunteering in Afghanistan, where she met Suraya.Here is what she says: "I met and worked with Suraya when I was living in Herat, Afghanistan. She is founder and director of the women’s organisation that runs women’s shelters to protect and support women fleeing violent homes or forced marriages. It is courageous and deeply compassionate work. Suraya is a courageous and deeply compassionate woman."
Do you want to help Suraya to continue with her good work? Hop across to Marianne's blog and learn how. Click here.
Each and every penny counts.
So do contribute and spread this message around. And enjoy this music.
Happy Mother's Day.
Best,
Lubna
