As owner of Laurentian Supplies Inc., which provides office products to First Nation communities, Persaud came across the co-founders of Books With No Bounds and was inspired to help their cause. Since its inception in 2011, Books With No Bounds has collected 29,000 books and sent them to the 49 communities that make up the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) of Ontario -- the Ontario winners will be selected on Friday duo has even sent books to Manitoba and as far as Uganda and Ghana in Africa. "Julia and Emma have demonstrated great responsibility for (fundraising and) paying thousands and thousands of dollars worth of Wasaya Airway LP invoices, managing a (Books With No Bounds) website, purchasing office supplies... along with other required equipment and supplies," said Persaud. "This exceptional act of kindness Julia and Emma have displayed offers vulnerable kids an escape from the status quo and is having a positive, lasting effect as evidenced by the hundreds of letters of gratitude they have received from both teachers and students." The Mogus sisters have accumulated more than 2,000 hours of volunteer service in Oakville, as well as touring schools across Ontario and in Maryland in the U.S., speaking about the inequalities in First Nation communities and trying to inspire youths to find causes of their own to take up. Julia and Emma have also volunteered with Volunteer Halton, the Community Youth in Action Network (CYAN), Oakville Optimist Club, Free the Children, Conservation Halton and Fareshare food bank, among other organizations -- the pair also received a 2013 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. 19 | Thursday, January 23, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com REDU FURTHER CTIONS RECYCLE Correction Notice The Budds Chevrolet ad that appeared on Thursday, January 16, 2014 in the Oakville Beaver should have read Bi-Weekly and not monthly within the GMC Special Purchase Pricing.
