Hamilton Grammar School were invited by Kirsty Blair (Determined to Succeed) and Claire Fraser (the Social Enterprise Academy) to showcase our good practice in terms of Social Enterprise initiatives. Our school is particulary fortunate to have Frozoz - the Smoothie Maker, and the Eco Group/Ghana Project.
My role was a small one, the marketing of Carbon Offset certificates to local companies who sponsored acres of Ghanian Mango farm.
Our pupils were Jamie Hendry, Rebecca Irvine (of Frozoz) and two former pupils, Stuart Bence (Eco Group), and Fraser Porteous (Young Enterprise). They manned the stand well and were excited to hear the Key Speaker, Kevin Lynch of Rebuild Resources Inc, who as well as co-authoring Mission Inc, he helps chronic addicts and alcoholics become clean through a programme of work and recovery.
We were priviledged and honoured to be invited. It was a worthwhile day for our pupils and we gained some interesting contacts which we aim to develop further.
