Hi. My name is Josh Berry. I am currently 16 years old. When I was 9 years old when I started this project. I decided I wanted to help homeless people. I am collecting 50,000 pairs of socks so that every one of the 23, 000 homeless people in Victoria can have 2 pairs of socks each. I have collected over 30,500 pairs of brand new socks for the homeless and given them out to them in the last 6 1/2 years.

I live at home on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia with my mum and dad and my 18 year old sister. Our family likes helping people. Seven years ago my sister did a project where she co-ordinated collecting 33,000 children's books for schools, children's centres and a University in Cambodia.

I enjoy mucking about with my friends, bike riding, swimming, camping, water sports and doing adventure type activities. I am a member of our local Junior Fire Brigade. In 2018 I started doing Sailability every Friday morning where I am learning to sail and then I take people with disabilities out in the sailing boat with me. In 2019 I joined Air Force Cadets which I absolutely love. I also love reading adventure type books and biographies about people who have done amazing stuff. I want to visit Shell Mera in Ecuador and travel up the Curaray River and also go to Russia and China.

When I am older, I want to be in the defence force, an explorer, an adventurer, be a snow and mountain rescuer and a pilot with MAF.
