SALE resident Kerryn Vaughan has been nominated in the first ever Fred Awards, which recognise everyday humanitarianism in Australia.
The Fred Awards celebrate people who care for others in a decent, practical, and no-nonsense way, like Fred Hollows did.
Kerryn said she was “very surprised” to hear the news.
She began her humanitarian journey in Africa after a teacher contacted her to ask where he could buy her book
Magnificent Kids.
“My book was about 23 superheroes from around the world who had started world-changing projects before the age of 18, and they inspired me because they were so young,” Kerryn said.
