LONDON, June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Hundreds of children from 23 countries participated in 143
projects as part of the international 'Young Heroes' project
created by the Helen Doron Educational Group. Young Heroes was
designed to empower children to become better world citizens,
enabling them to be heroes and bring about change in their
communities.
"Helen Doron English has always
been about teaching values - encouraging children to help each
other and care for animals and the environment. The projects
carried out by our teachers, parents, and children were moving and
inspiring," says Helen Doron, CEO of
Helen Doron English. "Our Young
Heroes reached out and touched their community in every way
possible -from raising money for sick and special needs children,
visiting the elderly and brightening up their day, cleaning up the
environment, planting trees, beautifying parks, helping homeless
animals get forever homes, and so much more."
The winner of the Young Heroes competition is the Young Baggins
team from the Helen Doron Ivanka pri Dunaji Learning Centre,
Slovakia with their Reusable Bags
project. The students used leftover materials that they sewed into
special bags and handed them out to 100 people. By giving shoppers
reusable bags, they prevented the use of plastic bags, which take
years to decompose.
In second place, Helen Doron
Nitra from Slovakia, Small
Hands Can Clean the World distributed 260 'rubbish kits' to
students and kindergartners who went out with their parents to
clean up the countryside. Hundreds of children participated.
In third place, Helen Doron
Travnik & Vitez from Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Helen Doron English Zebra Crossings created
imaginative multi-coloured pedestrian crossings in Helen Doron colours, to make it safer for
children to cross the road.
All the Young Heroes winners received generous cash prizes. As
part of the effort to contribute to the community, half the prize
money will be donated to a relevant organization nominated by the
winners.

make a difference in their community. The Young Heroes campaign
empowered Helen Doron English
students to do just that - become better world citizens with the
help of their teachers, parents and the wider community," says
Doron.
Following the success of the first Young Heroes campaign,
Helen Doron English is planning to
run another campaign in 2018. "Join us as together we discover what
needs to be changed in our communities and get it done - with
enthusiasm, energy, creativity and fun!" concludes Doron.
