STUART HAMILL RECEIVES FIRST
'KEEPING THE BALL ROLLING' AWARD

I am truly honored to have received the ‘Keeping the Ball Rolling’ Service Award 2011 from the Utah Ulster Project. For me, the Ulster Project was much more than just hanging out with Northern Irish and Utah teens. It immersed me into a new way of problem solving and unbiased thinking. As a past teen participant, it was amazing how 24 strangers from different backgrounds came together, barriers were broken down and we became best of friends. I was given the chance to go to Northern Ireland this summer. I can truly say without a doubt that the Ulster Project is changing lives in Northern Ireland. But I also saw that there is still work to be done so that tensions do not take the country back to the terrible times of the past.

Les and the Utah Ulster Project Board are a one of a kind organization. With all their hard work and dedication they are helping to make a difference and are giving Northern Irish and Utah teens the most awesome life changing experiences. Because the Utah Ulster Project had such an impact on my life, it has made me want to give back and support them in any little way that I can. I look forward to continuing my support to the Utah Ulster Project and hope to become a counselor someday. Thank you again for this award!!!!!

Sincerely,
Stuart T. Hamill
