Under the theme of Reconciliation, we cordially invite you to join us in the fundraising event for the benefit of awate.com.
I started following Awate when I was an impressionable young high schooler in the early 2000s. It completed my initiation rites into Eritrean politics (something which started with the private press but rudely interrupted by the Eritrean regime), it satisfied many of my curiosities, provided many of my questions, provoked many more questions, expanded my political horizon, introduced me to many topics I had never seriously thought of (the land question, the language question, the refugee question, etc), and many more.
I am still a student but I pledge 200 USD a year to be paid in four installments. I have paid the first installment today.
Thanks for your support. But as a student, you need to be careful not to stretch your resources… I encourage you to finish school and then pledge more once the dough starts flowing into your pocket 🙂 There are enough working people who can afford to help only if they move in big numbers. But your move is encouraging.
I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and my colleagues, Thank you again.
