Hello,my name is Andy Youngman and I am your new guest blogger. I would like to say hello and tell you a little about myself.

Mostly what I like to do is help people.

 Example,after leaving school one of my first jobs was as a fruit picker in Tasmania. I  was hitchhiking and got a lift from a raspberry farmer in desperate need of pickers. I was happy to help him out. Wasn't too bad,most of the raspberrries went into the bin, but a lot fed the birds.

Afterwards, landed in Melbourne, got a fill in job and for exercise took up boxing in a local gym.One of the volunteer supervisors told me he wanted to manage professional boxers and he asked me to join his group. I did this to help out and I agreed to a fight in the Melbourne stadium . Fortunately  the ref stopped the fight in the second round because my opponent was exhausted from hitting me. That ended my boxing career.

 Then I  got into something I was good at, Human Rights campaigning. Did some good things.e.g. I helped some Muslims get an okay to build their mosque.Helped get some involuntary patients out of a hospital because they did not need to be there.Got some repressive laws changed. That sort of thing.

 So that's  what I used to do. However as I am now a senior  I retired recently and am now interested in doing something for other seniors subjected to abuses of their human rights. If you know of any such instance please contact me.
