Becoming a Youth Ambassador
So in 2005 you were chosen to become a Youth Ambassador for World Vision, how did it come about that you were chosen?
I did the 40 Hour Famine in 2004, and completed an application form to apply for the Ambassadorship. Applicants had to raise at least $160 before applying, and I had raised $642. I was contacted a few months later and had a phone interview, and was then asked to come into the office in Perth for another interview. I also had to make a presentation at the interview, so I spoke about my sponsored child, and then the following week I was phoned and asked to participate in a videophone interview with head office in Melbourne. I was also
told that there were now only three people left in the running, and that one of the three had pulled out for personal reasons. I went to the office and met with the other contestant, Joanne, who I have since become good friends with. I was pretty nervous during the
videophone interview, but it was quite informal and I relaxed after a while. I then found out the following week that I had been successful.
