Jackson reaches out to kids

Before you start pulling your kids out of school you should know it's Big Brother runner-up Jermaine Jackson who will be visiting children in Barnstaple.

As part of the NOBULL campaign will be promoting a "No Bullying" message although the campaign will also seek to promote anti-racism, probably on the back of the fuss that was made over Big Brother.

"Jermaine will be talking to the children about adopting the right values throughout their lives, why bullying is bad and how by being nice to people gets you places," apparently.

Jermaine, Michael's brother, will be arriving in North Devon on Sunday afternoon, where Matt Fiddes, campaign organiser, will be taking him on a tour of the region's beauty spots, including Croyde and Clovelly.

"I really believe that every child can achieve success if they really want to. I like to think that I am an example of that. We shall also be talking to children about the dangers of drugs and how to say no to peer pressure, and we can teach some basic self defence moves as well." said Matt, plugging his martial arts franchises.
