So there is this awesome kid, 17 years old, who has started a charity to re-build Croydon. He’s met with local press, met with the Reeves family and got 1000’s of people behind him online already, including other businesses in the area that were more fortunate. He has more than 33,000 likes to the page on FaceBook.
He’s proving that the majority of teenagers are good citizens and he’s helping lead the way for Croydon to start repairing itself.
He had said earlier today that he was going to be at Reeves Corner between 5 and 6 to meet anyone that wanted to come and meet him and find out more. Then he re-posted later saying that he would be there between 3 and 4 because his mum wouldn’t let him stay out any later in case there was any more trouble. I love three things about this; 1, it’s just too cute and adorable and made me laugh; 2, he has the kind of parents that care that he is out when there might be trouble. I think this explains why he is the kind of lad that works his nuts off to set up a charity in three days rather than going out looting; and 3, he actually listened to his mum and did as she asked him to and wasn’t even ashamed to post to 33,000 people that that’s why he wouldn’t be there.
I’m following his website and the Facebook page to see what I can do in the future. I don’t have the money to donate, but I have time and I’m a capable grafter, so we’ll see. I’ve already signed up to the council’s list of rebuilding volunteers and should find out soon what their plans are and how we can start to rebuild and repair ourselves.
