Educating children and young people is so rewarding.
I started volunteering at The Swannery Youth Club last year. The girls completed Stage 1 of the āRevolution Fashion Schoolā last month and Luis, Youth Worker Coordinator, sent me this afterwards:
āI would like to give a huge thanks to Lou, on behalf of the young people and The Wellspring, for all the dedication, hard work, and commitment you put into this project.
Itās been a long journey to get the girls involved, engaged, and following instructions ā especially in a youth club environment full of distractions during their social time. Despite this, they chose to participate, and it was truly inspiring to see Lou teaching with such patience, skill, and encouragement.
The girls learned so many valuable personal skills ā from teamwork, following instructions, and being patient, to perseverance and sewing. Watching them grow and take pride in their work was amazing!
Thank you again for making this a positive, motivating, and unforgettable experience for the young people.ā
We took part in Future Citizen by and hosted an amazing graduation fashion show.
Iām looking forward to returning next week!
