By Jonathan Hannay | Project Leader
We have just hired Lucas to lead the project in the schools this year. He feels very passionately about the project because in the past he was one of the teenage reading mediators. In addition to helping train this year's new high school recruits, he will be in the day to day coordination of the young people and coordinating all the activities with the schools. We interviewed him so that you could all get a taste of who he is and what motivates him.
"I believe in this project because it is very gratifying to go into the schools and receive the children's love. This project has an immense power in the lives of the children and also for the teenagers who participate. Not all children have contact with books and criativity in their homes as they do with the project; incentivising reading stimulates their creativity and we see the change in the children at the end of each cycle (year). My chief expectation is that this great project will make a big change in the lives of the children and young people. I can testiify that massively changed my way of thinking and living helping me to recognize abilities that I didn't even know that I had in addition to raising my self-esteem delivering such and incredible project."
