Children's Books Make a Donation
Our children's books are unique because we do not use drawings, we use photos of real live animals and the children just love them. Every book we sell we publish another one and give it away for free to disadvantaged children or elderly people who live alone and are lonely.
A donation of a Photo News book is a great way to help others who are less fortunate. We can also print your name in a book as a sponsor if you wish. Make your donation via Pay Pal today and bring happiness to others.
About Ron’s Blog
Ron is a semi retired public speaker and motivational coach. His passion in life is to uplift and inspire others though his writing. Some people even call him a professional stirrer because he writes it as he sees it giving no thought for the feelings of others. On this blog Ron will write about many controversial issues and at times you will either hate him or love him. While he may seem brash on the outside he is a big softy at heart which is why he is now writing children’s animal books for disadvantaged children.Get Notification of Updates
