We would offer community outreach programs to teach computer and animation skills to those who would normally have no access to computers. We would also be a working animation studio, involving the working artists and students at an advanced level. We would provide studio space for the artists involved with a requirement of 10 hrs a week studio time. We would hold exhibitions and screenings as well. We should stay in close contact I think that we might be able to help each other. One idea would be to have children write books for each other throughout the world and I can run this through my charity. Let's stay in touch. Please let me know if i can be of service in anyway. Will you be a non-profit? I have some contact with Dr.Seuss's main office they might consider being involved in some contest or support. Please stay in touch.

Crowdsourcing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing) is hot right now. I'd contact more web-centric companies and see if there is any interest in sponsoring a similiar site.

These slots will fill up quickly. Computer and camera equipment and software will need to be continually updated.
