.... story here Camila Batmanghelidjh

Wow! Thats an amzing story.

She is an inspirational and selfless woman, particularly when you consider the sacrifice she made in deciding not to have her own children.

I listened to an interview with her today and she sounded so calm and generous, truly inspiring about the work she does.

She is brilliant, very savvy and caring.

There are few such selfless and driven people in this country I think.

Yes, such an amazing woman-she was on Desert Island Discs a few weeks back and she is very inspirational.

Could we make her PM? (cross-thread infection)

she was asked that today and she laughed..she is not interested in becoming a politician just steadfastly dedicated to her work

Zipp, which radio show was she on because if possible, I will listen to it using the listen again function.

TIA

There was an interview with her in the Observer yesterday too. She really is amazing. Very inspiring.

it was five live this afternoon after 2.oopm I think..simon mayo

thanks here's a link to the article in the Observer

I was at school with her - we all called her Batman - she was truly wonderful and warm and entertaining and enthusiastic and a fabulous artist. A great woman.

"If you text 'Kids' to 85222 a £3 donation is made to Kids Company"

I thought I'd highlight the above from the article.....

fab lady - saw her on newsnight

I heard her on Radio 5 today, she was SO right on.

I am so pleased that she's being recognised for the work she's done. And hopefully govt will listen to what she's got to say. what am I thinking...fat chance!)

zippi - of course, faaar too good a person to be interested in politics.
