For Geranium Corporation\u2019s Housing Division President, Boaz Feiner, it was during an afternoon visit to one of Geranium\u2019s construction sites with his three sons Coby, Etai and Nate that a remarkable idea was born. He was amazed at their fascination with the construction process. Whether it was the noise, the machines or the on-site activity, their wide open eyes and grins somehow took Boaz back to when he was a kid and the excitement he\u2019d experienced with nothing more than a hammer, a few nails and a piece of wood.<\/p>\n

This visit, and the many more that would follow, ignited the boys\u2019 curiosity and produced lots of amusing ideas about work on a building site. Then, in 2010, their insights became the inspiration for Coby Builds a House<\/a> \u2013 an illustrated story about building a house, as told from a child\u2019s point of view by one brother to another.<\/p>\n

With a suggested donation of $10.00 per book and all proceeds being contributed toward various charitable sponsorships and organizations, Coby Builds a House continues to support a variety of groups including the Whitchurch-Stouffville Food Bank<\/a>, Habitat for Humanity<\/a>, Trees of Wishes and CardiacKids in support of Sick Kids Hospital Foundation.<\/p>\n

In 2011 Geranium Homes presented Jeff Neiman,President and Founder of Cardiac Kids, with a donation cheque for $1,800. Cardiac Kids also received 200 Coby Books which they, in turn, gave to patients of Sick Kids Hospital. The relationship has been so successful that Geranium has printed a Special Edition of the book for the exclusive fundraising use of Cardiac Kids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Copies of Coby Builds a House are available at all Geranium Homes\u2019 sales centres and at Geranium Homes\u2019 corporate offices or email me for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
