In 2005 Asmeret won the GMTV Carer of the Year Pride of Britain Award for her work fostering vulnerable teenagers. Asmeret and Letina, her mother, live in South London.
Yes I was nominated to the GMTV Carer of the Year Award and I did end up winning it you know being voted by viewers, it is the Pride of Britain, so I got the Pride of Britain Award for Carer of the Year…..It was a very, very nice experience and it was an experience to remember for life.
You know you don't have a lot of opportunities to have experience like this. You know it is nice to be recognised at the same time. I didn't think that I would, I didn't start fostering to get an award and you know I am not going to stop it because I have been recognised. But it is very nice.
