As most of you know, I published a book in February 2007 called, AFRICA: Beginning a Journey.  Thank you to all of you who purchased it and supported a great cause.

I have a few remaining copies and would like to donate them to schools or public libraries in Canada.   If you are a teacher or a librarian and would like a free copy of the book for your institution, please fax your request on your letterhead to +1-888-737-5719

Feel free to send this post to a school or library and thank you to everyone who helped with the success of this book!

Christmas is just around the corner. And if you are like me, you probably have no clue what to get your loved ones.

As some of you already know, I published a 100 page photography book in early 2007 entitled, “AFRICA: Beginning A Journey“. We have a few copies of this book left and which features images I captured on safari during a trip to Africa in May 2006. This book has been featured on the Gill Deacon Show on CBC,  Breakfast Television on CityTV and The Globe and Mail.

100% of the profit from the sale of this book is being donated to Plan Canada (founded in 1937 as Foster Parents Plan) to assist African children that have been orphaned/impacted by AIDS.

So, what is my point in all of this? You can get a great Christmas gift for the person who already has (almost) everything and support a great cause at the same time.

You can order the book in one of two ways:

ONLINE

• Go to my website www.roelphoto.com and click on “gifts”

PHONE

• Call toll free at 1-888-301-0829

We accept personal cheques, VISA, Mastercard, AMEX and Discover.  The price is $49.99 (Canadian Dollars) and it includes shippping in Canada and the USA.

On behalf of myself, Plan Canada and most importantly, the children, thank you for your support!

Dear Friends,

As you may know, I published a 100 page photography book early in 2007 entitled, “AFRICA: Beginning A Journey“. This book contains images I captured on safari during a trip to Africa in May 2006 and 100% of the profit from the sale of this book is being donated to Plan Canada (founded in 1937 as Foster Parents Plan) to assist African children that have been orphaned/impacted by AIDS.

What you may not know (I didn’t until a client of mine called me recently) was that this book was featured in the Book Section of the Globe and Mail on December 8, 2007. This issue is a compilation of the best coffee table books in Canada – and it includes “AFRICA: Beginning A Journey” !

Needless to say we’re proud (and honoured) that Canada’s national newspaper has recognized our efforts and have promoted the book/cause. We still have a few copies left, so if you are interested in ordering a copy for yourself, you can click here to go the ordering website.

Thanks to all of you for your support!

Dear Friends,

As you may know, I published a 100 page photography book earlier this year entitled, “AFRICA: Beginning A Journey“. This book contains images I captured on safari during a trip to Africa in May 2006. The Gill Deacon Show on CBC and Breakfast Television on CityTV have featured this book along with The Globe and Mail and many other Canadian newpapers.

Why did I publish this book? I found out that by the year 2010, there will be over 20 million children orphaned by AIDS in Africa alone. Many of these children live in appalling conditions and do not have access to basic healthcare, food, shelter or education. They desperately need our financial support (in addition to our compassion) if they are to survive.

To help them, 100% of the profit from the sale of this book is being donated to Plan Canada (founded in 1937 as Foster Parents Plan) to assist African children that have been orphaned/impacted by AIDS. Plan Canada is international organization dedicated to the well being of children in developing countries.

Until December 31, 2007, you can order your copy (for yourself or as a gift) for only $49.99 plus tax and it includes shipping anywhere in Canada or the USA. We’ll even include a gift card and ship directly to the gift recipient if you’d like.
