I've set up for the orphans with special needs I've worked with in Romania. I think it will be a really worthwhile project, but we need lots of money to complete it! So if anybody's interested in helping fundraise for it, please let me know (plz email me on lzw07@ic.ac.uk). There will be volunteering opportunities for working with the orphans in Romania once this project is up and running.

Before starting university, I went with a group to Romania 3 times to volunteer with orphans with special needs. The treatment of those orphans in the orphanages was so horrendous, and I can't even begin to discribe to you the suffering of those children that I witnessed out there. So myself and a girl Alex Daly (who's been out to Romania with me) have since been talking about creating a project to free those orphans that we've grown to love. We've recently begun to put that plan into action, and have created a Romanian charity called 'Close to You Association'. We have already raised money for an purchased a perfect area of land for the project, which is huge! We will be building a 3-story building. On the top floor there will accomodation for volunteers when the come to help out at the project. On the first floor we will be accomodating the 12 orphans that we'll be taking out of the orphanage and fostering, to finally give them a safe and loving home. On the ground floor we'll have a daycare centre for other orphans with special needs that we'll bring form the local orphanage on a daily basis, and here they'll receive rehabilitation and love. We're now trying to raise the money needed for the building work, which will begin in a month and, money permitting, will be finished next summer.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from anybody who'd like to help!

A few of my cadets and myself are going on an expedition to Borneo, a trip of a life time for most of us! We will be doing Team Building with the other cadets from around the country, Jungle Trek for 3days, Community Projects, Visiting the Kundasang War Memorial, Mountain Trek over 3 days & visiting the Orangutan Sanctuary. All of us have been preparing for this trip for months, getting our injections, new Jungle trekking equipment and preparing mentally for this trip! For us this is an amazing opportunity for us to complete out Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, which some of you may know.. is a HUGE DEAL! When we finally pass we will get to meet the actual Duke of Edinburgh himself! SO AMAZING! As a fundraising event we are having a jungle themed party! It will be at the Heath Sporting Club its on Saturday 20th February, the tickets are £10 per person or £15 as a couple, I know this seems a bit but there will be a free raffle and some amazing prizes! To find out more about the party please look at the flier attached! Please consider it, it will be a relaxing evening, alcohol, food, music entertainment! So if anyone would like to make a donation to the cause or sponsership we would be so grateful! I would be especially grateful to you!

Many thanks]]> http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=211#post211 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=59&quotepost=211 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:55:07 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=211#post211
One thing which I have realised is that some judging can be easy than others for e.g I am juding yopey beds 09 which is this Sunday coming! And I felt when I was judging the contestants it was clear and easy for me to see who will give back to the community and has a strong story. Overall it is a nice feeling and I am honoured to be part of YOPEY.

Thanks Tony ]]> http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=210#post210 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=50&quotepost=210 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:15:47 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=210#post210 ]]> http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=209#post209 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=35&quotepost=209 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:09:56 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=209#post209
I won the Beds 08. I was so nervous that i thought I was going to have a breakdown but it is not as bad as you think.

Good luck]]> http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=208#post208 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=25&quotepost=208 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:08:34 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=208#post208
I was the winner for Beds 08 . The whole event is is amazing! you walk in and see all the other finalists and get to meet others, in the mean time you will be asked with your family to take pictures.

A light buffet will be served and Tony Gearing will explain what you will need to do for the evening, therefore all the finalists will be split into half, as thr first half will go on the stage and the second half will take a seat. Tony will do a short presentation on what YOPEY is and how it was founded, after he will then read your article of what you have done and then ask you a question. Once this is done then the first lot take their seats and the second half of the finalist come onto the stage. The same process is repeated.

After, you have a few speeches by the judges, the winners are then annouced. In an order of third prize, runner up and then the overall winner. But do not worry you will be fine, you will have an amazing time and get recognised.

Hope that helps. Hope to see you on the night.

It is called SPICE and stands for Special People In Cambs East, I am the joint leader of this pack. We fund raise money to give disabled girls a trip or event every month including, bowling, swimming, parties, sleepovers, theatre, London eye, boat trips and much more!! My friend and I have also been awarded £50 000 to build an exciting sensory garden designed to fit the need of the girls.
We're always looking for new girls between 5 and 25 to join our adventures so if you know anybody then please contact me for further information. There is no joining fee and the trips are heavily subsidised. We are also always looking for new sponsors so that we can carry on taking these girls on new exciting adventures. So if you know of any grant givers then please let me know!]]> http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=199#post199 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=56&quotepost=199 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:19:37 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=199#post199 I have also worked for other charities, eg Age Concern, V, and a few local gay charities]]> http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=198#post198 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=54&quotepost=198 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:40:14 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=198#post198 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=197#post197 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=52&quotepost=197 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:36:38 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=197#post197 MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM YOU SAW IT ON YOPEY.ORG!]]> http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=196#post196 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=55&quotepost=196 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 04:52:28 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=196#post196 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=195#post195 http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/post.php?topic=54&quotepost=195 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 04:48:59 GMT http://www.youngpeopleoftheyear.org/forum/topic.php?post=195#post195
