Congratulations Ellie

How very proud we are of our Ellie!
This week just gone Ellie found out that she was one of four winners in a competition run by a leading multinational company. Ellie submitted an entry using only 3000 characters (not words) to establish why she should be worthy of an extremely generous grant from the company to work within a not for profit organisation which will help the wider community.
Ellie in her usual proactive way had previously been exploring her future in the drama field and decided to volunteer for an organisation in Unley S.A. called Urban Myth (a youth theatre company) working under a well known director. This was to gain experience for her in the field of directing, which is something Ellie would like to pursue in the future.
SO the short of it is, after a telephone interview and a checking out of her credentials, she has won a grant of up to $50,000 (as wages)which she will be paid in a 12 month period beginning May 1st, then an extra $25,000 which can be utilised within the organisation, plus a laptop and a mobile to keep. An imminent trip to Sydney is also part of the package....I may be wrong, but I think she could be one of the youngest to have received this "prize". I was able to read the applications of the other 3 winners, and believe me she has done outstandingly well to be chosen from some 580 applicants.
God's plan for Ellie and Jordan is an amazing one wherever it may lead. I think God always blesses us when we actively seek out directions for our lives....that's when the windows and doors open. This is amazing and a huge opportunity. Well done.
