For nearly 50 years students at Atlantic College ran inshore rescue services along a treacherous stretch of the South Wales coast. As auxiliary coast guards, lifeboat volunteers for the RNLI, and beach lifeguards, these 16-18-year-olds from different backgrounds and countries proved competent, courageous and determined.

It's a testimony to vision, ambition and dedication - and to what can be done when you harness teenagers' powerful urge to help humankind.
