Shenanigans in Chamonix

So I was on holiday a few weeks ago. Well, I call it a holiday but I was actually doing some charity work for Camp Quality UK, running an activity holiday for young people with cancer in Chamonix, France.

It was an amazing week, but definitely one of those 'holidays' where you need a holiday to recover from the previous one (especially if you're responsible for a large group of people on a holiday in a foreign country).

One of the things I've tried to encourage the charity to do is to make more use of Social Media and Web 2.0 and it just so happened that the fact that one of the young people was anaspiring film maker really helped! So Murray (or Mr. Spielberg as we affectionately took to calling him) has produced this rather stunning documentary. At 14 years old he's certainly in the running for the youngest ever film director to win an Oscar!

The documentary runs to about 35 minutes in 4 parts and features yours truly as an MTV Cribs style presenter. Enjoy watching it and joining in the fun. If you fancy donating to the charity so that I can go on more holidays we can take more young people with cancer away on these amazing holidays, then you can do so here.

I'm thinking of writing a post on my experiences with the Camp Quality UK and how they are using Web 2.0 and Social Media to aid them in their cause, which I'll post week or so - any thoughts/links to help me out? Leave them in the comments section below!
