    Hi guys,

    I took Junior and Kariz back to my old high school on the weekend to help out with a great program run by some of the local ex-students. The group is called the Mooki Murris and they're all about helping all the local kids aspire to greater things.
    They have had great results in their first year of operation with attendance at school and behaviour improving dramatically. Here is a story in the local paper up there today: http://www.northerndailyleader.com.au/news/local/sport/other/contenders-role-models-too/1706982.aspx

    I'm pretty passionate about this because I was one of those kids and through other believing in me before I did, I went on to do well.

    If anyone can help in any way I would really appreciate it. It could be through a donation of memorabilia that we could raffle to raise funds, or even get a well known person to sign something for us. We also want to bring some kids down to Sydney next year as a reward for their hard work so if anyone can organise someone inspiring to have an informal chat with them then that would be great too.

    Thanks,
    Ray

    I refuse to believe I am part of that generalisation.

    Good story Ray, well done. Picked up my copy also this morning and it comes across really well. Good luck with it and it's future developments.

    I purchased a copy of the fist but it seemed to have lots of German women in it in odd sexual positions, is there another version?
