I have been asked by three different teachers, from three different schools if I could come in and talk to the students, show my films and answer questions. My plan is to ask the students if they could each bring in a loonie and at the end of my presentation the kids can choose where they would like their donation to go.” quoted from 316Mackie.comMac, I will be your first loonie donation. In fact I will be sending you 10 loonies to begin your awareness campaign.It was an honour to meet Mac and share his story with you.
