Thank You Mark Zelinski!

Mark Zelinski has generously donated 14 books to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Saint John! Eight of these books are entitled 1 Small Flame, which is a collection of photographs that Zelinski has captured from more than 70 Roundsquare Schools, Outward Bound Centres, and United World Colleges worldwide to capture this true-life story of courage and hope. This book displays the daily life in communities around the globe, thousands of students experience life-changing growth and engage in social and environmental service projects, charting new directions for a sustainable future. This is not just a story of hope. This is an epic. These books will be awarded to high school age children involved in our program.

Four copies of Zelinski’s From The Field were donatedas well. These books are a collection of images taken over the course of 26 years which brings focus to the diversity within the manifested world of form as witnessed on the seven continents of Earth.

We have also been very fortunate to receive two copies of Zelinski’s book called Untitled. This book is very rare in the sense that it is not publicly sold. This is a book without any words which allows the pictures to tell the true story. Zelinski has distributed this book to children in third world countries, we are very fortunate to receive copies.

We are honoured to receive this donation and look forward to passing them on to our Littles.

THANK YOU MARK!
