Long time didn’t hear from you. :) I think one of my colleagues is involved in the org. I have very similar thoughts too, about the book collection.

It is really inspiring what some of these organisations are doing and it is not easy work.

I got to know of R2R some time ago on the Oprah show. The founder, John Wood was being interviewed by Oprah and I find his journey inspiring. It’s hard to give up a six-figure paycheck to do something like that. I also find it sobering when he also mentioned that after he left his job at Microsoft and founded R2R, there were a few instances when people shunned him at high-society parties. I was thinking, has society really degraded to such a superficial level?

Anyway, I hope to do something for R2R next year. Maybe start a book-raising at my office or something.
