ON LINE CREATIVE WRITING PROGRAM: Literacy can Solve Bullying - Click here!

James' Literacy Tour and Community Service in Argentina July 2008 - Joven escritor canadiense visit una escuela portea

Hi everyone,

I owe everything to Air Canada and the Rotary Clubs of Ontario! Here is the newspaper article from Argentina. It is a really amazing once in a lifetime experience that has really blown me away. I really helped the kids there and they were very very poor and a teacher told me that one kid who was a bully said I really touched his heart and he wants to change and keep in touch with me. The kids were really grateful and didn't want me to leave. The more I helped them the more it meant to me and the more I wanted to do. So, it means a lot to me and I really wanted with all my heart to go to all of the schools and help the kids. It changed me. So, I've started a new book and I think the title might be, "It's not easy but do it anyway". I'm also writing a book for CHEO and Sick Kid's Hospital for kids with cancer. My next stops this year are Philadelphia and then Milan, Italy. I've found my passion and that's helping kids. God bless you.

Sincerely,

James
Be Careful, Stay Hopeful and Work Hard!
