The Murphy Young Foundation has funded a training course to qualify a young person to be a ski instructor. She is the daughter of two parents who, due to drug dependency were unable to look after her properly.
Her foster parents have brought her up to now be a confident and ambitious teenager who has excelled at school. She was referred to Snow Camp who give young people who suffer all types of disadvantages the opportunity to enjoy skiing and snowboarding, a pastime normally available to more privileged children.
She did so well, that she was encouraged to train to become a qualified ski instructor and MYF agreed to sponsor her to do that. She has now successfully completed the course and will now be employed at Snow Camp whilst continuing her education.
She is now preparing to get her University entrance qualifications and with the continued backing of her school, her foster parents and her, now colleagues at Snow Camp she is determined to succeed.
