#WhiteRock postcards are a prized possession in Kenya, Africa

October 8, 2013 5: 31 am

We are looking for other White Rock Beach Goodwill Ambassadors like Dr. John Rogers of the White Rock Dental Clinic. WhiteRockBeach.ca is promoting White Rock Beach globally and our artistic postcards have a Virtual Edge over other postcards on the market.  The WhiteRockBeach.ca marketing plan has crossed over to printed media with some really cool postcards with connection to our site. Know of any store you think should be selling them? Tell them to contact us.

Recently Dr. John Rogers of the White Rock Dental Clinic made a trip to Kenya, Africa. Before leaving Canada he packed a few WhiteRockBeach.ca postcards as well as some other assorted Vancouver postcards. He thought they could be used to possibly show off Canada to people he might meet in his travels. While visiting the Amboseli National Park near Kilimanjaro in Kenya,  Africa he met a group of  local residents.

While other tourists had cameras, iPads and iPhones, Dr. John Rogers pulled out some postcards to show where he is from.

White Rock BC Photo Restoration Ric Wallace can bring FADED or partially lost PHOTOS back to LIFE
Old, torn and sometimes photos in two or more pieces can be restored to their original state or better. Ric Wallace does a high resolution scan from your original image and electronically uses a computer to do the retouching and corrections. High quality photographic prints can be obtained from the computer file. The computer file can be supplied on CD/ DVD, USB, or downloaded from the internet to ensure exact copies can be made for years to come, with no loss in quality like prints made from negatives which will degrade over time.

With a large crowd gathering to see the postcards, the famous White Rock was the favorite and they wanted it badly. As a goodwill gesture by Dr. John Rogers gave away the one WhiteRockBeach.ca postcard of the BIG WHITE ROCK. With there currently being only one postcard in Kenya of the famous White Rock, it will be a very rare item to have. When something is rare, it can become very valuable and could be traded for something of a lot greater value. (It could even need protection).  With our web address and even a QR code on the back, we expect to be mailing more to Kenya to people who have Internet access.  All the WhiteRockBeach.ca postcards were causing excitement.

How do you get a whole tribe in Kenya, Africa dancing with excitement? Give them some postcards from White Rock Beach, BC CANADA!

Just imagine living in a mud hut in Africa with no electricity, no internet, TV, etc and a WhiteRockBeach.ca postcard of the famous big White Rock or a dancing seagull hanging on the walls.

You might be able to trade them for drinks, dinner, or other local treasures.  When Christopher Columbus came to the new world they traded beads and other items for treasures. The Spanish traded nicknacks for Gold and Silver. WhiteRockBeach.ca postcards could be a valuable currency on your next trip. Even if you receive no treasures, a photo of a someone in a foreign land could create some lasting memories and be valued PRICELESS. Who knows — maybe you might make a few new friends.
