This wonderful book ‘Our World, Our Voice’ illustrated by the children of Gippsland Grammar Bairnsdale Campus in 2012, is gradually taking shape. I have just heard from Ian Hutton, the photographer and designer from Lord Howe Island. The photography is finished (all 148 illustrations), and Ian is working on putting the children's illustrations and text into a book format. Ian is very excited about the children's work and is delighted that they care so much about the environment. A HUGE thankyou to Ian for generously donating his time with the photography and design work.

Also a warm thank you to Mary Dahlsen for typing up the childrens text late last year.

Thank you also to Paula and Sam Logan, for generously assisting with the creation of Gaia Guardians Environment Trust. As this book is a non-profit initiative, this trust will distribute the profits from Our World, Our Voice to environmental groups chosen by the children.

If you would like to be involved in Our World, Our Voice, please contact me, Christine, on 5156 0516, or email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

I am very grateful for the support and generosity we have received to help us give our children a voice. It is a wonderful example for the children, that by working together, we truly can create a better world.

I will keep you updated regarding the progress.

Warm wishes and many thanks,

Christine
