WHAT: Audio Book of Not Quite Paradise Continues Support for Jaffna University Students
WHEN: Ongoing (now!)
WHERE: Online at http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?asin=B005HPPJYA&qid=1316731784&sr=1-1
Dr. Adele Barker, who is a Professor at the University of Arizona in Tuscon and author of Not Quite Paradise, a memoir on her experiences in Sri Lanka as a Fulbright Senior Scholar Fellow and repeat visitor, has recently recorded an audio reading of her book, the proceeds of which continue to benefit students at the University of Jaffna. Not Quite Paradise (Beacon Press, 2009) is the record of her sojourns on the island as she moved between her tranquil life in the south and a very different life up on the Jaffna Peninsula. Dr. Barker gave a presentation at the IMHO Annual Convention in Boston 2 years ago and initiated a scholarship fund for students at Jaffna University from the proceeds raised from her book. To purchase the audio book and support her efforts, please use the following link: SHOP HERE
