A few reasons to consider making a donation of your own... Donating feels good! The poem email sets a nice tone for the day. The brief 'Thought for the Day' says just the right thing some days. Ivan supports himself and his family through part-time work. Your contribution helps him to cover his expenses and dedicate more time to the Poetry Chaikhana. Many small donations are better than a few large donations -- making it a true community project. But for that to work, we need lots of people to contribute!
