And they’re off!

Members of team 17 finally got to meet some of the young people at Waterland on Saturday 13th July. The weather stayed good for us this time and we will be starting the matching process with this lot very soon. That will push our total of active mentoring partnerships up to around 40. Team 18 are already being put together and with their help we could make that 55 or more by Christmas. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Well done everybody who came on Saturday and thanks for all your enthusiasm. It just wouldn’t be the same without you!

More from our Mel

As well as writing poems Melanie also edits Anime (Japanese cartoons and video games characters) and sets them to music. I can’t embed the video here but if you follow the link you can see one of her vids on you-tube. This isn’t her most viewed (that one has been watched more than 17,000 times. some number one singles sold less) but i thought it had a good message for us here at SMASH. That’s why I’m trying to persuade her to show it (and a few more besides) at our AGM next Thursday.
