Congratulations to Hannah Karas, distinguished as the first person at JAGS to attain a Duke of Edinburgh's Award (Silver for Hannah) using the interactive online system, the 'eDofE'. As Hannah says, it makes for a rather different experience. Collecting evidence of her work online including visual material means that you can track your 'journey' more effectively. Hannah has been busy! For the 'Service' part of her award programme Hannah was involved in training the 'Badgers', 6-11 year olds in basic First Aid at a St John Ambulance group. Hannah developed her viola playing in the Symphony Orchestra to show her 'Skill'; and worked on her stamina and technique in swimming for her 'Physical' part of the programme. Hannah walked in the South Downs Area for her practice and qualifying 'Expedition', in October 2009 and Easter 2010. The second time round, although more demanding, she felt the group was much tighter.
