The Kathleen Keegel Children’s Fund Limited (KKCF) has been created to care for orphans and under-privileged children of Sri Lanka. We are in the process of establishing an orphanage and children’s learning centre geared towards caring for orphans, abused and neglected children.

Books by Australian Writer, Michael Davies.
The Foundation supports literacy programs, school writing programs and will eventually become
a non-profit publisher, aiming to publish Australian writers and assist in sales and distribution.

Every writer knows the horrible process of rejection by agents and publishers. It’s frustrating and infuriating, and in Australia it’s even worse as local writers are generally not acceptable to Australian publishers as they present too great a financial risk. Instead, established writers from overseas are the preferred option. After three years of dithering by one publisher who couldn’t decide to proceed, I opted for self-publication in order to present the books to the members of the group before they graduated from High School. The process of self-publishing proved to be immense fun and greatly satisfying, so I proceeded to have my other complete books published also and I began a marketing campaign. I have already established a local presence and this is expanding. My books are in the local bookstores and the library from which they are loaned out frequently. At least one newspaper has produced a full-page article.
