"Advances in Cancer Research" 

Pete is developing a pilot project for an online reading program to happen here in Melbourne (and hopefully spread nationally) to engage volunteers reading with kids (one-on-one) for half an hour in the afternoon after normal school hours.

This will help the kids to keep engaged, the parents to have a bit of time to themselves, volunteers have something to do to help etc.
