VISION4FUTURE Helen Akers

During Helen Akers 18 month trip around the world she had the privilege to work with young people in Nepal and Cambodia. A very inspired Helen returned to the U.K. with a Vision 4 the Future, her aim is to enable young people to express themselves on canvas using Life Elements (Healthy mind, body and spirit, Power Without Pollution, and Future aspirations).

l groups of young people together who are otherwise separated due to physical or mental differences. With her enthusiastic approach Helen has enlisted the following local schools -;
Bradstow School
Stone Bay
St Anthonys
Thanet College
Foreland
Royal School for the Deaf
Skills for Life (Thanet College)

The above participating schools will give their young people an opportunity to take part in this exciting project. Helen and the team which has formed around her (all volunteers) are going to exhibit the canvasses during week commencing 11 Dec 2006, then the canvasses will be donated back and displayed in the schools involved.
The work will be completed over a period of 4 weeks and Helen believes that by exhibiting the canvasses it will stimulate comparisons, increase understanding and confidence among all of the young people. Helen hopes that the paintings will provoke thought and help explore areas-; fossil fuels, wind power and solar power etc.

The canvasses are being sponsored by local businesses, and as the project grows we need more people to jump on board and donate.
Helen created this project out of a leadership course she did through Landmark Education and would like to thank various friends and volunteers who have helped with vision4future.
