Air cadet Alana Copeland (16),(Douglas Rd,
Welling) (St Paul’s Academy, Greenwich) of 358
Welling Squadron Air Training Corps has been
sponsored by the Rotary Club of Woolwich, to
undertake an overseas expedition to South Africa.
The two week expedition will involve trekking
through the Kruger National Park,
visiting the notorious Robyn Island where
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, and a social
project in the townships.
Each cadet has been
responsible for fund raising their part of the
costs, and Alana has already undertaken bag
packing with a supermarket and a sponsored
Three Peak challenge, climbing
the highest mountains in Scotland, England and
Wales within 24 hours.
However, the credit
crunch and increasing fuel costs, have kept the
costs increasing week on week.
The Rotary Club of Woolwich came to her aid,
by sponsoring her £1,000 from their Inverliever
fund.
Inverliever Lodge was a residential centre
for the youth of Greenwich, and many residents
will have fond memories of happy holidays
and school trips to the lodge.
The lodge has since
been sold, and the proceeds held in trust.
The
trust produces a small income per year and these
funds are been used to provide residential
experiences for the youth of Greenwich and the
Greenwich Schools.
Club president Tony Maun says “What she is
trying to achieve is fantastic.
We would welcome
new applications from groups or individuals who
wish to access the fund, and those interested in
joining Rotary International”.

Jealous Eltham
lover jailed
Georgina Clarke-Webber, 19 years old of
Churchbury Road, Eltham, poured accelerant
over her 15 year-old victim and set her alight in
Churchbury Road on 15 June 2008, following
a dispute over a boy has been sentenced to
serve ten years in prison.
The victim suffered serious burns and had to
be taken to a specialist burns unit by air
ambulance.
Greenwich’s child
poverty shame
While Greenwich councillors and staff earn
generous salaries, many reaching six figures,
55% of the children living in Greenwich are
living in or on the brink of poverty - and not a
single ward escapes destitution.
To coincide
with the release of these figures End Child
Poverty today launched 4 in 10: The End
Child Poverty London Project.
The two-year
London project aims to tackle the specific
challenges that Greenwich and London face in
ending child poverty.
Hilary Fisher, Director End Child Poverty,
said: “It is ironic that London is the economic
powerhouse of the UK and provides 20% of
the UK’s GDP yet it is failing to provide for
the hundreds of thousands of children growing
up within its limits.
“Poverty blights children’s lives.
In the sixth
richest city in the world it is shameful that this
is allowed to continue.
