3 International Internship Winners Announced!

Over 1,450 people voted for who should win our International Internship Competition in partnership with Global Vision International and Richard Turner & Associates LTD. Congratulations to the winners:

Ned, Joshua and Saeed!

Ned said: “I am absolutely elated about being one of the winners for the International Internship competition, offered incredibly kindly by the Diana Award and Richard Turner & Associates Ltd. It means such a monumental amount to me that so many people took the time to vote for me and I am incredibly humbled and overwhelmed by the support that I received. I am overcome with excitement to be able to travel to Kenya (somewhere that I have never been) and cannot wait to meet the children that I will be helping to teach over the 4 weeks that I’m out there. I would like to extend my congratulations to the other winners Joshua and Saeed, but also my commiseration’s to Rodrigo and Penny. Good luck for all your future endeavours guys.”

Saeed commented: “I didn’t think I stood a chance of being one of the winners of the International Internships with Richard Turner & Associates International LTD. I can’t express my feelings of excitement in words but the yelp of joy that I let out was enormous, the whole house could hear me! It has definitely made my summer as this has got to be one of the biggest life changing opportunities that I have been given and I feel that this is just the beginning of a spectacular experience which I look forward to passing on. I am grateful to all those who voted for me!”

We can’t wait to hear all about their adventures, we will keep you updated too.

Thanks so all those who took part and commiserations to the applicants that didn’t make it through this year.

    Saeed is a student of mine. He has done a considerable amount of charity work since a young age and is very dedicated. I really hope that he gets chosen.

    Growing up with him from a very young age, I’ve come to know Saeed as a very optimistic and diligent person who enjoys using initiative in all aspects of work, he makes the most out what he does and I’m sure he’ll do the same once he seizes this opportunity.

    Make the right choice and Vote for Saeed
