Winning an award from Baltimore County Councilman David Marks as Fifth District Citizen of the Year caps quite a year for British native Jo Marvan, who in August became a U.S. citizen. "I've only lived here 31 years," said Marvan, tongue in cheek. "I just have to learn to speak American."

Running through the Christ Child Society's list of projects is a dizzying task. From tutoring and mentoring students to knitting hats and scarves for low-income children or providing books to two Baltimore schools — this Riderwood-based volunteer organization is involved in an ever-growing range of activities.
