YOUNG Scot winner Aimee Gilmour is going to Malawi to make a documentary about children's lives there.
The 12-year-old will spend two weeks being filmed living in amud hut, working in maize fields and going to school in the village of Mulonde.
Aimee - crowned Community Champ at this year's Sunday Mail & Lloyds TSB Young Scot Awards - will be an ambassador for Scots actor David Hayman's Spirit Aid charity. Aimee, of Rothesay, Bute, said: "I'm so excited about going and can't wait to meet Malawian children and see how different life is for them.
"There have been lots of documentaries made by adults but never by someone my age."
Trial And Retribution star David added: "The film Aimee brings home will be invaluable for raising awareness of Malawi's plight among her peers."
