Welcome to DROKACADEMY

The CARE+ Books

Five books, one question each. The four care books spell CARE, and Empowering Care adds the power: CARE + POWER = JUSTICE. Every book comes as an academic edition and a general reader’s edition, and every cover is one of my own photographs from the Garden of Care.
