Of Special Note:
This night we also begin our affiliation with the Charitable Organization
Aid For Victims Of Cambodian Land Mines*
which supports the efforts to rebuild lives devastated by the attrocities carried out by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and the difficulties of life since.
(10% of our Fund Raising event will go to the charitable organization, the remainder to the on-going publishing efforts of Exile Editions and Exile: The Literary Quarterly. All donator’s names/organizations will appear on a page in each 2007 book. A charitable receipt will be issued for the portion that goes to the charitable organization.)
*Member of Mines Action Canada; info@rescuecambodia.org; www.resuecambodia.org
Note: Exile has chosen to affiliate both houses with this charitable organization because Michael Callaghan spent time in Cambodia in 1996; in his travels to Siem Reap, and other more rural areas, he was witnesss to the extreme difficulties the ravages of war had placed on all people and communities.
