I was amazed by how far an expression of gratitude can take you! Perhaps the timing was perfect too.

A week earlier I'd sent a letter of appreciation to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, thanking him and his team for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy that would allow me and my staff at Focus on Nature to keep working and developing new online lessons for teachers to use in their virtual classrooms.

The interview has made millions of Canadians aware of Focus on Nature for the first time. Donations and expressions of interest in our program soon followed. As a Registered Charity, we rely on contributions from government, corporations and donors like you to keep building kids' connections to nature through photography.

With no revenue coming in from workshops and camps, the pandemic has hit us hard. Pease support us with a donation now if you can. Thank you.
