Jackie has continually proven himself to be a generous and caring person who devotes much of his private time to working for charity. This is certainly a quality of a true hero. Congratulations to Jackie!

Inspired by Jackie
People often say that Jackie is a good role model for kids and adults. Jackie's good works inspire others to take a step in the same direction. Well, here's another example of Jackie's good example giving someone else an idea to help others:
Thirteen year-old Julia from the US has been a Jackie fan since she was only 6 years old. During that time she has seen many of the good things that Jackie has accomplished. Recently she got the idea to do some good of her own:
When I saw Jackie doing all these great things for other people I decided I would start a bank for donating. I am going to try to save any spare money I have and at the end of the year add it all up and donate it to charity.
Congratulations, Julia. All of your friends here at the Kids Corner are very proud of you!

Jackie Producing Animated Film
Jackie is the producer of an animated film (due out in 2007) called "The Wind." The making of this film is being led by acclaimed Taiwanese film director Edward Yang. According to an article in the Taipei Times, the movie will feature a young man with extraordinary kung fu abilities. His face will be designed to resemble Jackie.
Edward Yang has been making movies for a long time and is very well respected. One of his most wonderful films was "Yi Yi" which you can read about here. If you have a chance to see Yi Yi, see it! It's extraordinary.

Buddy Bears Make a SLOW Journey Across the Atlantic
Several months ago the Kids Corner webmaster received an email from our friend Victoria in England. "Have you received my Buddy Bears in the mail yet?" Well, the answer was "No" and we feared that the bears were lost somewhere between England and New York. Well, this week they showed up in the Kids Corner Mailbox! They took TWO MONTHS to get across the Atlantic! We're happy to present Victoria's latest collection of Buddy Bears. Thanks Victoria!

"Keep the Spirit Up!"
Jackie Talks to the Kids Corner Kids
Several months ago the Kids Corner took a survey and asked about some of the things you'd like to see here. One thing that many of you mentioned was that you'd like Jackie to communicate with you. Well, you asked for it and now you've got it. Check out Jackie's letter to the Kids Corner!
The Myth at Cannes
Thanks to the eagle eyes of Thiego from Brazil we get to see a great new poster of The Myth. He found the following poster and information here:
How can an archeologist protect his principles?
How can a romance span millennia?
Why does it hurt so much when someone you trust betrays you?
Across the mists of time and space,
Only war,
Love,
And betrayal
Remain eternal.

Jackie in California Fitness Photo Shoot
Well, Jackie wasn't really the photographer for this shoot. However, he did impress the photography team with his endurance during the lengthy shoot for the new California Fitness Gyms. Jackie had to repeatedly jump, lift weights, and pose. He never complained and, apparently, never got tired. Looking good, Jackie!

Jackie the Fireman!
Yesterday, Jackie got all dressed up as a firefighter to lend his support to the next World Firefighter Games in Hong Kong (February, 2006). "A lot of people call me a hero," said Jackie. "Well, (firefighters) are real heroes; they are nameless heroes."
Jackie said he hopes to make a movie about firefighters. "I have had the script for 20 years," he said. "It is a dream of mine to make this film; if I do not make it, I will regret it."
