She left an important and inspiring work, including the creation of a shelter Porto d'Abrigo for victims of domestic violence, which is managed by her club.<br />This Soroptimist Teresa Rosmaninho Prize for Young Leaders is granted by the Union of Portugal every two years to one of the candidates nominated by each of the eight Soroptimist Clubs in Portugal. Applicants, aged 25 to 40, must have distinguished themselves as Young Leaders in associative and/or social projects.<br /><br />Celia Antunes is a graduate in management and distinguished herself by creating the “Olha-te” project which uses art and well-being workshops to help cancer patients come to terms with themselves and deal with devastating health conditions. The project has helped dozens of patients in the community and has even extended abroad by promoting "health care support tourism" for foreign patients visiting Portugal. <br />See http://www.olha-te.oeste.pt/ <br /><br />In its first edition in 2012, the Soroptimist Teresa Rosmaninho Prize for Young Leaders was awarded by the Union of Portugal to the journalist Ana Cristina Pereira from Porto, for her civic and community work.<br />See the blog of Ana Cristina Pereira in http://meninosdeninguem.wordpress.com/2012/03/12/teresa-rosmaninho/Soroptimist <br />Soroptimist Teresa Rosmaninho Prize for Young Leader 2012 http://soroptimistapt.blogspot.pt/2012/03/soroptimistas-prestam-homenagem-com.html SIEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325672976326221066noreply@blogger.com
