Matters Of The Heart is a song that was written by Georgina Barbour of Witless Bay, with hope that it will have a positive impact on people, as she works to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Heart and Stroke has affected many families; it doesn't matter the age or gender of people; it can happen to each and everyone of us. Georgina's goal, while sharing a personal experience, is to let people know that there is always hope; to bring awareness to both young and old; to support a cause that she feels so passionate about. The Heart and Stroke Foundation is making tremendous strides in research and helping save lives everyday. The more awareness that is out there the more successful we will be!  Georgina is a youth spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke, and to date has raised over $ 1,000. She is currently working on other initiatives to bring awareness and fundraising for for this organization.

 Miss Teen Achievement NL 2007 gives to children in Africa

 

In May 2009, Julia HIscock, Miss Teen Achievement Newfoundland and Labrador 2007, travelled to Moshi, Tanzania where she spent 10 weeks volunteering at Msamaria, a centre for street children.  Msamaria is thome to 60 children (95% boys) between the ages of 5 and 16.  These children have been abandoned, orphaned or their parents are unable to take care of them.  Julia taught the children math and english and also spent time playing soccer, teaching and learning dances, and making crafts with what supplies she could find.  Julia also spent tme working with the center's director and a social worker, sitting with the children and learning about their difficult pasts and their future ambitions.  Julia's experience in Africa was a real eye-opener and invaluable to her decision to pursue a career in such a field.

During her time in Tanzania, Julia was also able to help implement a more sustainable health program and syllabus for the school at the center. In her spare time she visited other centers in the community, and got to know the local people. Julia is now developing an awareness campaign to present to high school students about international volunteerism and what we can all do to help.  During summer 2010, she will be collecting school supplies for the children of Tanzania and Miss Teen Achievement Newfoundland and Labrador is delighted be assisting her with this effort.
