A Refreshing Change


Two great stories in the Saturday paper very close to each other. The first was about a young personwho has raised £30,000 to buy and rebuild an orphanage in Tanzania after spending time there. Amy Lambert just wanted to do something to help so she came home and did something amazing! Read more about Amy Lambert here.

In contrast there is a story about the misbehaviour of senior citizens at a cinema in Leicester. Their behaviour included reserving seats for friends who hadn't arrived and stuffing their Tupperware boxes full of the free biscuits.

It's so good to see stories that buck the media trend - young people are not all bad - in fact the majority are simply working hard to do what they can. In contrast their role models whether they be celebrities or the older generation often set such bad examples. They expect from others what they are unwilling to model. Perhaps the MP's expenses promises to be the worst example of that - time will tell!!
