Across the Commonwealth, there are remarkable young people overcoming great challenges in their lives to create a better future for themselves and for others. Rob and Paul Forkan both lost their parents at ages 16 and 14 in the Boxing Day tsunami while in Sri Lanka in 2004. Determined to turn their experience into something positive, they have since been building children’s homes for orphans in Pakistan and India. Rob and Paul are winners of the Queen’s Young Leaders Award which recognises young (18-29 years) leaders from Commonwealth nations who are overcoming adversity and contributing to their communities. This unique, life-changing Award provides winners with a tailored package of training and mentoring and a one-week residential programme in the UK, during which they will receive their Award from Her Majesty, The Queen. If you know an inspirational young PNG leader who could benefit from this opportunity, please nominate or ask them to submit an application by 10 October 2014. With this support, Award winners will be expected to continue and develop the amazing work they are already doing in their communities. More information: queensyoungleaders/
