Munnar, Kerala, our discussions ranged from the Israel - Palestine conflict, Italy's win or rather the French defeat at the FIFA World Cup to the Indian political system and out sourcing in the IT sector. It suddenly dawned on me that it'’s just not our discussions that are international in nature, but also that our team is truly international. We have Scott and
Kate , students of Brown University, Rhode Island from the United States working with us as interns.
Our newest team member,
Jonathan, the Junior Editor is from Germany. Jonathan, at 16 happens to be our youngest team member! Our President Brij, a research scholar at Stanford interacts with us, working in India through Skype! Our consultant Mark Segal is from Israel.
BookBox, our sister concern produces animated stories in more than 20 languages. These stories, which provide for smart reading for children are available not only in Indian languages like Tamil, Telugu, Oriya and Marathi, but also in languages like Russian, Portuguese, Catalan and Dutch.
That is why we take pride in calling ourselves a truly global organization. We are also very excited about taking our idea of using SLS to promote literacy to other countries. We expect to begin operations in the SAARC countries in the next six months. We are so glad that we are spearheading a movement to improve literacy rates using a very Indian idea with huge global potential. And the impact of having a truly literate world?! Well, isnÂ’t that what each one of us dreams as the ideal world. With a mix of firm conviction and a sense of disbelief, we are indeed working towards creating the ideal world.
