[Attachment(s) from CS LAKSHMI included below] Dear Friends, Greetings from SPARROW! As you may know, SPARROW is the only women's archives that is collecting print, visual and oral history material on women's history and experience. It was set up as a trust in 1988 and has since then been doing pioneering work in this field to generate and disseminate knowledge about women's life and history in innovative ways. If you visit its website www.sparrowonline.orgyou will get an idea of the kind of work SPARROW does. SPARROW now has a building of its own and is working towards stabilizing itself financially to continue its work of documenting women's life and history. We are planning a series of efforts to raise a modest corpus of 5 crores. In March this year we organised a charity art raffle as our first step in this series. As a second step towards gaining financial stability we have launched A Sky to Fly whichis an effort to find 2000 friends for SPARROW to support its work and activities by contributing just Rs. 2500 per year for the next four years. Rs.2500 a year is just Rs. 208.50 per month and less than Rs.7 perday. It is a small amount which an individual or family may spend in a month as part of expenses for seeing a film, eating out or for shopping for fun. But for SPARROW every small contribution is the drop that will make the ocean. This amount would translate into books, newspapers, journals, archival activities, publications, reach out projects and infrastructural expenses for SPARROW. All donations will qualify for Section 80G (1) of the Income Tax Act of 1961. Those who donate forA Sky to Fly will be acknowledged on the SPARROW website and Annual Reports. SPARROW Newsletters and Annual Reports will be sent to them free of charge. They will also get a special discount of 20% on all SPARROW publications and films. They will also have access to the SPARROW collections whenever they visit Mumbai. We are sure you know 10 individuals who can make this commitment to support SPARROW. We request you to please find 10 friends for SPARROW including yourself. We look forward to your being a friend on whom SPARROW can depend now and in future. What SPARROW needs is a sky to fly. We have attached a payment form. We look forward to your response.

Peace means respecting all rights. You can’t respect one of them and violate the others. When a society doesn’t respect the rights of its citizens, it undermines peace and leads it back to war.” -- Maria Julia Hernandez www.otherindia.org www.binayaksen.net www.phm-india.org www.phmovement.org www.ifhhro.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
