Early life:

Name-Moira Kelly

Moira Kelly has always wanted to make a difference and touch other people’s lives. When Moira Kelly turned 13, she was given the opportunity to start her career as a helpful person for the poor and for the less fortunate people. She started studying at home about people who have medical conditions.

At the age of 20, Moira left home and went to work with Aboriginal children in Western Australia. She helped the poor kids and she tried to raise money for charities. When Moira was 22 experienced a life changing experience when she worked side by side with Mother Theresa in Calcutta.

After working in Calcutta, Moira returned home to work with AIDS sufferers and established a ‘special unit’ for boys who had behavioral problems at Sutherland Homes.

At 26, Moira left Australia again and headed for Botswana. In Botswana she worked with Kalahari Bushmen on a bush hunt project type thing.

She then travelled to Johannesburg and then New York where she worked the less fortunate people.

At only 25, she was awarded a Queen Trust achiever award and the Victorian Young achiever award for community service.

In 1994, Moira was awarded the inaugural Sir Edmund Dunlop award for humanitarian service, and in 1995 Moira’s efforts in Bosnia were honored by a meeting with the Queen at Buckingham palace.

Achievements:

Over the course of her life, Moira has received many remarkable things. Moira Kelly has won many awards for community service. She also received a trust achiever award and many other awards for her dedication in helping the less fortunate.

Also, she was nominated for the Australian of the year

award in both 2003 and 2004.

Moira has also adopted 2 orphaned children from Iraq named Emmanuelle and Ahmed who were found in a shoe box by a park. She has given these boys a new life and a bright home. She then paid Krishna and Trishna, as well as their mother, to come live with her for a while. They were twins who got separated during Surgery. Then they went back home with their mum to see their father in Bangladesh.

Interesting facts:

Moira went to see her son Emmanuelle play at the X-Factor and she also went to see Emmanuelle and Ahmed play in the Paralympics/Olympics and they swam for Australia.

Persuasive Paragraph:

Moira Kelly has contributed greatly to the loves of not only people in Australia, but many other lives all over the world. That is why she wins so many great awards throughout her entire life. So this is why I think Moira Kelly should be named after one of Lumen Christi’s house colours.
