Article thanks to The Bucks Examiner, written by Hannah Williams

A LITTLE Chalfont teenager has been nominated for a young people's award after extensive work in his community, including helping an Amersham charity raise thousands of pounds.

A-level student Jack Elderfield, 17, of Westwood Close, was put forward for the Buckinghamshire Family Information Young People of the Year (Yopey) contest for volunteering with Street Kids Direct, a charity which helps street children living in poverty in Guatemala and Honduras. He was nominated by the charity's founder, Duncan Dyason, who let Jack get involved with Radio Christmas - a community radio station which ran during the festive period in 2008 and raised £16,000 for the cause.

A GENEROUS teacher decided to use her 50th birthday as a way of raising money for street children in Guatemala.
