AMBER's Children  A Child like Eleanor
|
For the past four years, The AMBER Trust has supported Eleanor and her
brother, Joseph, who both have a rare eye condition, called Achromatopsia.
This means that they cannot see colours, things appear blurry, and bright
light is painful. But 11-year-old Eleanor's world is completely immersed
in music. Eleanor playing at a concert at the Hilton 
She has an amazing musical
ear and since finding music,
her self-confidence and esteem
has soared. Eleanor enjoys
nothing more than performing
in front of an audience.
An AMBER Music Award
enables Eleanor to attend
the Royal Welsh College of
Music and Drama, where
she studies the piano and
clarinet and takes singing
lessons. She is making great
progress and fast developing
her passion and talent.
Her father, Gareth, says
that Eleanor "comes alive"
in the atmosphere of
the college.
Eleanor and Joseph's father, Gareth, says:
"I cannot fully express my gratitude to The AMBER Trust for making
it possible for my children to pursue their musical ambitions. It has
truly changed their lives. Thanks to this wonderful charity, Eleanor
and Joseph now receive firs-class tuition and have a clear purpose
and road ahead. Thank you again.
