Our children's future

Peter White’s series which tracks the fortunes of some of the children who went to Singapore to support Britain’s bid for the 2012 Olympics is back again on Radio 4.

One of the striking things about these young people who lived in one of the more deprived areas of the capital is how many of them have found that their road to the future leads, at least for a time, to North America, usually as part of their higher education.

One girl emigrated with her parents, one won a sports scholarship, one is spending a year of his university course over there, & one has just first landed his first job, after graduating from Exeter university.

Food for thought there.
