YOUNG AMBASSADOR COMPETITION

  1. award:  Alexia Marza D124 Romania
  2. award:  Siena Castellon MD105 British Isles
  3. award:  Jesse Mulder MD110 Netherlands

 

People who are in need are the focus of Alexia from Romania.
It starts with children suffering from cancer and doesn’t end with adults living in an asylum. She has experienced children and adult people on the edge of what we call “life” and it almost broke her heart.
Her first step was to collect money to provide life-supporting apparatuses to a pediatric hospital – in which she already succeeded by winning the European Bert Mason Award at Tallinn.
For terminally ill children she intends to fulfill one of their most desired wishes – a project she calls “My Last Wish”.
For suffering children and adults she’ll try give them a little bit of normality and easiness by providing live concerts, dancing and painting classes or theater sideshows.

And her own way already seems to be decided: she wants to become an oncologist.
