I wanted to pass along a great opportunity to get a neat Kindle (or paperback) book and help save lives in Africa.

Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity. – Nancy Astor We begin life as babies with no sense of separation, later we learn that there’s “me” and everyone else.
