Hi Adonay,
Contact us using the “contact form” link and let us know what you’d like. I’ll look into whether it’s affordable to send books to Chile.
All the best,
Bodhipaksa

I am interested in sponsoring some books for men on death row in Texas, I currently write to a man there, but I am not clear whether it is possible to provide them for death row (Polunsky Unit )….. do you have any information? and if I pay some of the costs would it be possible for someone to look into it for me? Currently I use Amazon to send books to one inmate but I would like to help support a library if they are allowed one. Many thanks Diane
