Harold and Stephanie

Some of the amazing subjects in my exhibition.
I thought I'd start with some of the people who do amazing things to help other.

Harold Mitchell - He moved 20 times when he was a kid and his mother walked out leaving his father to bring him and his brothers up alone. Harold has become one of the biggest media sellers around and uses his wealth to help others. He started the Harold Mitchell Foundation that provides enormous amounts of money to support projects in health and the arts. He's also been Chairman of the National Gallery and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Director of Tennis Australia and so, so much more. He even has an extinct fish named after him.



Stephanie Copus-Campbell - Stephanie lives in Papua New Guinea and works for AusAID over there. Every weekend she visits the AIDS Ward at Port Moresby General and gives every single AIDS sufferer there an orange and words of hope and sympathy. She also visits the labor and maternity ward and the Disabled Orphanage. She is a remarkable woman who really makes a difference to people's lives.
