Jamie Oliver wins Ted prize
Mr. Oliver has also done amazing work with Fifteen, a number of restaurants employing young homeless people, people with drug or alcohol problems, young people on a edge of society. They are trained in all areas of restaurant work, providing them with real skills to go out into the world.
On the heels of this work, it was announced yesterday that Mr. Oliver is the TED Prize winner for 2010. In the past TED has had 3 prize winners per year, and 2010 marks the first time they have awarded the prize to a single winner. The prize is $100,000 and “a wish to change the world”. Mr. Oliver unveils his wish on February 10 during the TED conference. I for once, can’t wait to see what he wishes for.
