This pursuit has taken them to Malaysia to present their community project at the GK3 a few years ago. We considered them a success story, and Michael Gurstein wrote about them in a HRSDC report 13 plus years ago. They’ve worked on some of the world’s top games as contractors and now Barry is finally taking the time to work on his own. I have always considered them a community networking success story because they are self-taught and worked out of their bedrooms. So it was our idea to enable youth to do the same thing from where-ever they were in the world. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Anyway – take a look at Barry’s kickstarter campaign - feel free to support!<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Bev<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1763303301/ashen-rift-a-man-and-his-dog?ref=live" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1763303301/ashen-rift-a-man-and-his-dog?ref=live</a><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Advisors mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Advisors@tc.ca" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;">Advisors@tc.ca</a><br><a href="http://victoria.tc.ca/mailman/listinfo/advisors" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;">http://victoria.tc.ca/mailman/listinfo/advisors</a></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
