Press Release Summary = Winnipeg, Canada, March 27, 2007: Lauren Kennedy had just
graduated with a Degree in Fine Arts. She knew that undertaking real-world graphic
design projects would serve to build her portfolio and enhance her resume. Although
unfamiliar with online volunteering, Kennedy then living in Toronto, leaped at the
opportunity to help a charity a thousand miles away. And almost four years later,
and now living in the United States (Boston), Kennedy still continues to volunteer
online with Macdonald Youth Services (MYS), a Winnipeg (Canada) charitable
organization.

And what attracted this Fine Arts graduate to volunteer online with MYS:

\"... it is really easy, they\'re a great group to work with, they allow me to be as
creative as I want to be ... and let me have a good say in what is going to get
published and what is going to get printed, it\'s just a lot of fun, and of course
they\'re a great group to be associated with they\'re doing a lot of good things for
the kids out there ...\", said Kennedy.

\"As well as being very creative, Lauren has been extremely flexible over her fours
of online volunteering with us, stated MYS Online Volunteer Program Developer Randy
Tyler. Whether designing a brochure, poster, advertisement or annual report, Lauren
has delivered impact promotional tools for us\", added Tyler.
