Five Dock Hero Recognised By NRMA Helping People Award

Author: NRMA MediaDate: 15 June 2010

Five Dock Helping Hand, Peter Mousiol has been nominated in this year's NRMA Helping People Awards for his outstanding contribution to the community.

Peter Mousiol, has been nominated for a Community Volunteer Award for his seven years of work with the Church of Scientology Australia's, Drug-Free Ambassadors program.

NRMA Director Dawn Fraser said NRMA launched the Helping People Awards in 2005 to shine a light on volunteers who rarely get recognised for their important community work.

"Mr Bourne's work in the community is an inspiring example of helping others and I encourage people to nominate a volunteer they know who also does amazing work," Ms Fraser said.

Friend and colleague Mr Cyrus Brooks said he nominated Peter for an NRMA award because of his tireless dedication to educating Sydney's youth on the dangers of drug use.

"Peter, the father of a teenage daughter himself, has reached thousands of young people and their parents with important drug awareness education," Mr Brooks said.

"Peter is the President of the Drug-Free Ambassadors Program and has spent many hours handing out booklets and manning information booths at community events."
