Amnesty Young Reporter 2013
Fantastic news at The Charter School as Nancy Cofie in Year 12 won the Upper Secondary and Sixth Form photojournalist of the year in the Amnesty International Young Reporter of the Year awards. Congratulations to Stephanie Piedra who was a runner up.
On April 30th, both girls experienced a fantastic day for the finals of these awards. They had a fascinating morning at The Guardian, using their photographs to create a newspaper front page. This was followed by copious amounts of pizza and an inspiring ceremony at Amnesty headquarters.

“People being denied the right to an adequate standard of living is the focus of my work. One of the most basic human rights is for somewhere safe and stable to live, yet homelessness continues to be one of the worst social problems in Britain today. Why do we see the needs of others who are on the other side of the world but choose to ignore the needs of people right outside our doorstep? We come across people everyday staying in some of the grimmest underground tunnels in London where they are exposed to torture and humiliation. This photograph was taken not only as a reminder of how inhumane it is to allow people to be forced to live in these circumstances but to be grateful for the personal space which I have. At the end of the day I have a home to come back to, a sense of belonging and a source of security. “
