Wondering Where to Find a Book Box?
Book boxes - or little libraries - have popped up all over Vancouver during the past few years, offering the opportunity for all of us to share the gift of reading. Local artist, Kobie Gingras-Fox has created these booklets as a guide to where we can find book boxes throughout the city. Have a look:

PWRDF: Donations to A Light for Every Birth project being matched 1:1
Donations to PWRDF’s newest project are being matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000. Working with our partner EHALE and California-based We Care Solar, PWRDF is building on our previous work done in 2016 by installing 50 more solar suitcases in rural medical clinics. A solar suitcase is a wall-mounted unit that opens like a suitcase and includes phone charging ports, a portable headlamp and a fetal Doppler to monitor baby’s heartbeat that is connected to a roof mounted solar panel.
