Edinburgh award

I would like to tell a story of a very helpfull Ukrainian woman whom I met in a Kiev Metro Station a few years ago. Looking around the Metro exits trying to figure out which one to choose, when I heard a frienly voice say in English,can I help you. I turned round to see a lovely Ukrainian woman, I asked her how she knew I spoke English and she said it was my lost look! that gave her a clue,and me thinking I was a cool character. Her name was ..... she was the wife of a diplomat a really nice lady, she took me on a tour around the city centre including the underground church, a fascinating place. We then went for a drink, then she made sure I got to the correct Metro station for home and said goodbye. This is another example of the helpfull people
I have met on my travels.
On 29 January 2010 I was presented with a medal, and an Honour Diploma scroll by the Ukrainian Government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for helping the children in Malin Hospital in the Zheetomir Region of Ukraine. The award was presented to me by Consul Vadym Vakhrushkin, from the Ukrainian Consulate,in Edinburgh. I wore a highland outfit for the occasion, which went down well with the guests.
