Hi, Ann. Thanks for explaining about the geography of India. I cried in relief when Carrie told me that everyone was safe. I seem to remember that you spent some time working in India. Is that right? I feel a mixture of wanting to reach out to our Indian counterparts and some fear about doing so since I know so little about India as a country. The terrorist attacks crystallized things for me because I realized that our Indian staff and volunteers are truly part of us. We are all part of Bookshare. I don't know how to start yet, but it's time to build a bridge somehow to blend our groups into one Bookshare family. It's time for me to get serious about making time to understand India and its people so I won't make a cultural mistake when reaching out. Do you have any ideas about books or sites I can read to learn some basics? I would appreciate any ideas anyone has to offer on this subject.
