Junior Chelsea Rozanski is a Jefferson Award Nominee
On February 8 at the Newark City Council
meeting, Mayor Vance Funk, III, presented
awards to this year's Jefferson Awards for
Public Service nominees. "Newark is
fortunate to have so many residents who give
back to their own community and give hope to
others around
the world..." says Mayor Funk.
The Jefferson Awards are based on a simple idea.
One person can make a difference. This
year's nominees include Chelsea Rozanski,
a junior at Newark High School. Chelsea
has dedicated her personal life to
volunteering. She participates in various
volunteer activities locally including dog
walking for the Delaware Humane Association,
trash collecting in parks and on roadsides and
walking for charities to benefit diabetes and
cancer. Her greatest volunteer achievement
happened over the summer when she went to Kenya
and Tanzania to work in orphanages for two
weeks. She spent her time educating people
about family planning, common diseases and how
to live a healthy lifestyle. Her passion
for public service is all her own. After
her trip to Africa, she sought out Village Care
International in her desire to help make a
difference in Africa.
