JASMINE CHARITY CHALLENGE SUCCESS STORIES 2010 - 2011 Kincorth Academy students visit Peru and gain awareness of the plight of ‘street’ children there and the work of the Vine Trust. Students deliver a powerful presentation at the VAULT. Portlethen Academy visit Aberdeen Childrens hospital pre the VAULT and gain great awareness of ARCHIE. All schools make excellent presentations at the VAULT event. Morven Mackenzie of Mackenzie PR attends the VAULT and is so impressed with the students and the ethos of the Jasmine Charity Challenge that she offers her professional support as a sponsorship. Liaison with schools, student, workshops, mentoring and professional release of information to appropriate areas of press / media follows as a result. Kelly Cumming a former pupil of Westhill Academy attended the VAULT. Kelly in her early teens had to have part of a leg amputated due to cancer. She is a great role model having overcome many adversities being an ambassador for several charities. She has done a sponsored long distance trek in a foreign expedition and sponsored runs locally. Her ambition is to do the New York Marathon. Kelly was delighted to agree to become an ambassador for the Jasmine Charity Challenge and will do a sponsored cycle from Aberdeen to Edinburgh in summer 2011 in preparation for New York. Students from the Gordon Schools Huntly - Neil Mitchell and Jake Gillespie ‘network’ successfully with ‘judges’ at the VAULT and create positive links with Acergy (now Subsea7). Visits to this company and reciprocal visits to the school are a possibility as a result. Kemnay Academy students engage positively with Olivia Giles the Founder / Director of the charity ‘500 Miles’. She is unable to attend the VAULT but subsequently visits the school and has agreed to be guest speaker at their fundraising Denim and Diamonds Ceilidh at Thainstone on 25 February 2011 ABOUT | JCC EVENTS | JCC SUCCESS STORIES | JCC PRESS | GET INVOLVED |
