That precious momentallowed me to live throughmy father and tell my mother proudly, I graduated from The Last Mile Program.I entered into this journeyfully committed to the processof change and making a difference. I can honestlysay through this process I gained an enormous amountof confidence and knowledge to become successful in the outside world.
