The judges thought this photo Syeda sent in really encapsulated the work at her placement in Japan.

 

Best Video

John King, Fiji

John’s film is very well put together, narrated brilliantly and uses lots of great footage from his placement. The videos purpose - to raise money for the school he volunteered is certainly a cause worth supporting and is well demonstrated. Well done John!

Best Blog

Jennifer Shannon, Malawi

We had some great blogs this year, with many making use of the blogging feature on the Lattitude website. Jennifer’s blog reflected so much of her personality as she experienced Malawi. It is a great insight into volunteering overseas in Malawi and is genuinely entertaining to read!
