Our formal fundraising started this week:
Here are some initial responses that are very exciting:
From Tennessee:
The Kansat funding campaign had a good momentum (relatively speaking) at my end. Last Sunday, I had a small gathering and displayed a poster with pics from the Kansat up-rise. After some daal-bhaat I sat down with a handful of grad students (all of them members of the BSA – BD students assoc.), and had some alochona. They seemed interested in the cause. We are planning to have a fund-raising Jolsha in early August (about the time the fall semester will begin). A young couple from Atlanta will be our guest performers.
We are debating on whether to make it a formal event – like reserve a hall and sell tickets, or make it more like an informal sit-on-the-living-room-floor like thing with a donation box placed in the corner.

From Wisconsin:
I see it as an opportunity to be part of the history.
I offer to contribute in the following ways,
1. Donate from my limited means.
2. I can be part of the team that will review the historical aspects of the screenplay.
Let me know when and who to send the money.
Rumi.
