Hendrik Beune and April Smith of AHA MEDIA help build a library for Bosman Hotel Community
Old books! New books! Donated books! All for Building a Library!
The most popular book so far is the mighty Dictionary which “weighs a ton!”
Creating an in house library, is so important because many of the residents are uncomfortable going to a public library. Now Bosman Hotel community residents will be able to enjoy reading material in safe and familiar environment, without the concern of what hour it is or getting the books back on time. Books are available 24/7 for the eager readers!
Below is a video of Hendrik Beune speaking about the beginning of the Bosman Hotel Community library

Recently Richard was asked his opinion of “selling ice cream” without music with Global TV, (upon the subject of the District of West Kelowna’s ban of Ice Cream Truck Music)
Richard Czaban says ” In Vancouver, the kids love the music! They come running from blocks away! Parents and Grown Ups remember it from their childhood… they get very nostalgic. It makes for a great summer time experience when you can listen to the ice cream truck music while eating cold Rainbow Ice Cream treats”
Phoenix Winter sings in German in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
Hendrik Beune and April Smith of AHA MEDIA hear Phoenix Winter sing in German.
Hendrik says:
We are very blessed to have Phoenix Winter as a ‘natural community member’ of the DTES. She used to live here and still spends so much time here, we could never consider her to not be a part of our community!
Phoenix is a performer and an activist and a very good friend! Phoenix is of mixed German and Goan descent and learned this lullaby from her mother when she was a child, just as it had been handed down through generations.
Phoenix performed this song spontaneously when I mentioned my intention to bring something new from the DTES to Vienna, for a visit and presentation that is coming up in June.
We thank Phoenix for being the kind spirit that she is and are grateful for all the talent and caring people that we meet here on a daily basis!
