Some 57 Bronze and Silver medals were presented recently by Cascais Câmara President, António d’Orey Capucho, and D. Duarte, Duke of Bragança, to those who had competed in the two levels of the Prémio Infante D. Henrique (equivalent to the Duke of Edinburgh Awards). The presentation took place in the Museu do Mar Rei D. Carlos, in Cascais. Proud parents and friends were there to witness the presentation of these prestigious awards.
Following the presentation, Geert Sillevis commented, after receiving his Silver award: “I actually found out that I liked walking, the downside was when we got lost – who was to blame? But now I’m looking forward to competing for my Gold award.” João Figueiredo, a serving GNR officer at Queluz, said, after receiving his Bronze and Silver awards: “I enjoyed working as a team with the younger ones and am looking forward to getting my Gold next year!” Marta Oliveira, 15, commented, after receiving her Bronze and Silver awards: “The awards got me motivated and boosted my self-esteem. It was good exchanging ideas. What I hated the most was everything getting wet in the rain.”
