"I read about your campaign in the new college calendar and found the link to donate on the website. I love the lectures that you have put on in the past and believe the lecture series to be a valuable contribution to our local culture. I also believe that peace starts at home, and every step counts. I think the goals of the Mir Centre are fantastic and I am pleased to be able to support this initiative." ~ Tandi Wilkinson, Nelson Community Member
