the thank you list

I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one who has helped me get my campaign going, especially Deutche Bank, common purpose, every one who helped make the ChangeIt awards so special, family, friends, staff at Notre Dame school, other campaigners and Elissa Miller who helped create awareness by the whtvr.org website.

Burgess Park

Here are some pictures from the day Elissa Miller ( she works in Children's Communications for Southwark) took pictures of me holding a plain white T-shirt for the WHTVR magazine and website.

Today, I also got some good news that, the is going to be an annual youth festival in Burgess Park in August, and I have been asked if I am interested in setting up a stall in the Park to sell the positive T-shirts and Eco-friendly bags for the youth festival.

Presenting... our first printed T-shirt

Yes, today I finally got a chance to pick up the T-shirt from the print shop- since I has KS3 exams all last week !

T-shirt looks great in my opinion. The design on the T-shirt was approved of by my design technology teacher, friends and many other students in my school.

Furthermore, the T-shirt will be put on a model stand for the judges to see. The design on the T-shirt still can and may be modified slightly after the judging too.

In addition, my art teacher has informed me that she has received some brilliant designs from some of her older and younger students. Tomorrow, I will receive these designs, and take some pictures to publish on the blog. Also, I might bring some of the designs to the ceremony on Wednesday to display for visitors and for the judges to have a greater understanding of the type of work young people in South East London are producing so far for this campaign.

Below is a picture of the T-shirt.

Presentation

Today, I was able to finalise and arrange the speech on que cards just incase Haristide or I forget. Hopefully, that will be unlikely to happen, since we have been praticing nearly all last week.

The picture above is just something we drew during writing the speech :] !

We can't wait till Wednesday :]

Dragons Den Speech

Today, Haristide and I completed writing our pitch/ speech we are going to say to the judges. So far so good. The T-shirt design look awesome, and can't wait to pick it up from the printers tomorrow. Also, I finished all of my KS3 exams today, so I can finally spend more time going over the speech and gathering pictures for the display.

Moreover, I am very pleased with the speech we have written and can't wait to pitch it to the judges and inform them of the campaign we have been developing over the past weeks.

Not forgetting, that I have recently been informed about a interview that I am to attend at the ceremony. I am just going to be asked some questions about the campaign , for example- what, where, how I came up with the idea, etc.

Overall, Haristide and I are looking forward to the ceremony and are coping well with preparing the speech -even though we have had to spend revise lots of time revising for our exams- ,feel quite content with what we have written and are quite confident that the ceremony will go well and have a positive impact on the campaign - e.g. creating awareness, funding etc.

First T-shirt to be printed

Today, Haristide and myself went to the print shop to give them the design that will be printed onto the T-shirt we want to show to the judges at the Dragon's Den Style Judging.

Even though my technology teacher , an artistically talented teenager and many students in my year thought and gave good comments on the design, I am not so sure about the colours. However, I can change the colours if necessary tomorrow, when I pick up the T-shirts.

Pictures 4 da magazine

Today, my dad and I met Elissa Muller who works in the children's communications department for Southwark, and created the whtvr.org website for young people. This website is currently being made into a magazine for teenagers too!
Furthermore, me and my campaign are to be featured in the first ever issue of this magazine. So, today I took pictures in Brugers Park and around Old Kent Road for the magazine.

Also, I hoping to get the pictures sent on Tuesday, so I can print them out and show at the ceremony. Moreover, hopefully I should receive a fresh copy of the magazine the day before the ceremony so that I can show it on the display board, as an event/factor of what has taken place so far in the development of the Smile With Style campaign.
