Green Fingered Nadia strikes Gold

10 year Nadia Khan, a Tower Hamlets resident has come good by winning a Marie Curie Cancer Care competition.

The budding gardener joined thousands in entering a competition titled Mini Pots of Care - an exciting Marie Curie Cancer Care initiative for schools and groups, in partnership with Yellow Pages.

Nadia’s design was chosen to be featured on the Yellow Pages sponsored ‘mini pots of care’ national leaflet. Nadia’s cousin Nabila, 7 said; “I’m really proud of my cousin. She’s very artistic and her art is so cool.”Nadia’s parents are “delighted” with her success.

Over 239,000 children from schools and groups across the country have been busy planting their own daffodil bulbs in time to watch them bloom for the spring and summer.

Children are being encouraged to fundraise in support of their Mini Pot of Care.
At the time of planting, they'll be given a donation envelope to take home.
Mini Pots of Care is a fun and creative way for pupils (aged 3 to 11 years) to learn all about science and nature whilst making a positive difference to the lives of people with cancer.
