2009 SDA SA scholarship winner

Congratulations to Amanda Wheeler on winning the 2009 SDA SA Scholarship!

”I hope to share my knowledge to whomever I meet, and to have a great time doing it. I am a big believer in the idea that there are always people worse off than me and that I can help them. Whether it is with teaching and education, or helping them with the activities of daily living, I am interested in doing as much as I can for other people.”

Amanda Wheeler- Woodside, SA
