I'm so pleased.

I used to run the Mencap press office, about 10 years ago.

Keane · 11/03/2005 16:47

I dont know how you vote

her school have chosen her and sorted it all out. The pics are gorgeous.

If she wins her pics and story will be put in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

It is to raise awareness of learning disabilities

heartinthecountry · 11/03/2005 17:03

Keane · 11/03/2005 17:10

nutcracker · 11/03/2005 17:21

WOW, thats great Keane

Keane · 11/03/2005 17:24

I think it might be a panel voting tbh

as the main objective is to raise awareness of learning disabilities to people who dont know , havent had contact with, or dont understand it iykwim

not how pretty she is

There was a really lovely photo exhibition at the V&A last year done by Mencap - pictures of or taken by people with special needs and some brilliant stories. Is this the same thing for this year? I will def check out the exhibition again as I really enjoyed it. Love to see a pic of your girl, too!

Merlot · 11/03/2005 19:29

Oh, you must be v.proud Keane (why the change of name - is it to keep us on our toes? )
