My aim is to raise $15,000 to create a major exhibition of carvings for International Mother Language Day in February 2017. Each carving will say "mother tongue" in an endangered minority script. When that exhibition is done, I plan to dismantle it and ship the individual carvings to community organizations in the countries of origin that are working to preserve endangered cultures and their languages.</div><div class="">Please check out the Kickstarter home page at <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1496420787/the-right-to-read-the-right-to-write" class="">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1496420787/the-right-to-read-the-right-to-write</a></div><div class="">If you feel you can support the campaign, great. If not, please forward this email and the link to anyone you think might be interested in our work.</div><div class="">Thanks so much.</div></div><div class="">Tim Brookes</div><div class="">PS My apologies to those of you who get hit from several directions at once by this post!</div></div><br class=""></body></html>
