Firsts Part Deux

This week, there has been a truly amazing and inspirational first ...

For the first time in Kent the Youth Service has built an outdoor classroom, thats right an outdoor classroom!!
It's the first of its kind in the Youth Service and the first of its kind in Kent. What makes it even more amazing is that it was constructed in a week and was built entirely by young people with support from youth workers. If that doesn't promote a postitive image of young people I don't know what does.

Over five days (including a bank holiday) young people came together, and constructed this most amazing building. When they started the ground was just a field and by today it was a structure complete with a screen, a sedum roof, planters filled with herbs and attractent plants for indigenous wildlife, bird boxes, tables and feeders. All of which had been constructed by hand. All the materials that had been used were either from sustainable, donated or reclaimed.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
