Quotes from our contributing authors

"As if marching to battle, these men walked towards the land's end wielding two kinds of weapons: flashlights and fishing nets. As they marched, they were shouting, singing, and reciting the mantra..."

- Chriswan Sungkono

 

"When I think of the proverbial ancestral tales of walking miles to school in the snow each day, inevitably without the luxury of boots, I smile, because I can add my own tale to the mix."

- Alice J. Wisler

 

"Children, who by western standards would be watching late-night cartoons or curled up in bed, feverishly bag cans of sweaty Red Bull and wrap cheap bottles of liquor in newsprint for tourists eager to spend their over-inflated dollars."

- Danielle Bell
