1   Link   4Cats Art Studio
Not only did they host my book launch they have the coolest art studio for kids ever. A supporter of RIO Kids' Writing Club and the funnest place on earth. All kids should go this place and learn art. They even let me play in their stop motion animation class. So much fun. These studios are found all around Canada - so if you're not in Calgary, find one near you.

Stories for children read by children. My daughter, Emily Firmston, was shortlisted in their recent contest. Click on her story I ATE IT in June and see what a brilliant author she is. To top it off, she's only eight. So smart!
3   Link   Binti Pamoja (Daughters United) Center
The Binti Pamoja Center provides a safe space for adolescent girls in Kibera, Kenya. The Center helps the girls explore issues such as violence against women, rape, prostitution, HIV/AIDS, female genital mutilation, poverty, sexual abuse, unequal access to education, lack of reproductive health care and information, and demanding domestic responsibilities. The Center uses photography, drama, writing, and group discussion to investigate such issues in depth, allowing the girls to confront these issues and learn technical information about reproductive health and financial literacy.

Doug is the guy who helped build my website and I would be lost with out him. I never have to worry about problems, as he's always just an e-mail away and ready to help. If you need a cool website, he's the guy to go to.
