Dedicating over forty years in the teaching profession is a clear testimony that the youth have a special place in my heart. After my retirement Unique Foundation offered me opportunity to continue my mission of helping bring a difference in the lives of the youth . at this day and age, the young people are faced with challenges which not all of them have the ability to overcome them. I form part of the team who help them to develop life skills and resilience to cope in life. Not giving up on them, showing them that we care help bring positivity into their lives thus reducing their risk of side tracking. The youth of today are the country’s future therefore everyone who lend a hand in shaping their character and ensuring a strong foundation to build the country on.

2015
Members of Unique Foundation carried out an informal basic community needs assessment and from there started one to one mentorship programmes on an informal basis with the children/youth outside of school. The goal was to identify children/ youth in the community that required certain help or assistance and work alongside school counsellors in case they needed further support, and any form of help such as food or clothes.
All members of Unique Foundation were encouraged to support any child they came across who were being neglected or mistreated.
Mentorship was also provided to young girls with teenage pregnancies in order to mentor them into becoming responsible adults. A list of 8 girls was received from the school and the girls were contacted.
2016
- A series of motivational talks were done at Praslin Secondary school aimed at the upper secondary classes. The “talks” were conducted by past students of the school who became successful and started a career and family. This formed part of our Resilience Empowerment and Positive Youth development project. Over 75 students benefitted.
- In 2016 and 2017 Unique Foundation enhanced its partnership with Campaign for Awareness, Resilience and Education (CARE) and HIV/Aids Support Organisation (HASO) by organizing workshops for secondary school students as part of our Resilience empowerment project.
- Parents were invited to attend to help us identify problems teenagers faces and in return learn on how the parents dealt with them.
- As part of our Youth Health and wellbeing workshops, students where taught how to focus on their health and well-being as well as the importance on being resilient in times of negative temptations that could affect their health. Temptation in the form of sex, alcohol, drug abuse, or even exposure to people or facilities that could transmit diseases like HIV/AIDS.
2017
- The launch of the Resilience Empowerment programmes in partnership with Campaign for Awareness, Resilience and Education (CARE).
- As part of the Positive youth development and empowerment, we wanted to give our youth more opportunities to develop their skills and talent. This was with the aim of boosting their self- confidence, keeping them focused and using art as a good therapy. Children/youth could express themselves through visual arts.
- A Children/ youth band was formed and named the “Island Youth Band”. With the generous help of the Children's Special Fund, the foundation was able to buy the musical equipment for the band. 18 children have benefitted so far, and the band has performed in several activities on Praslin.
- The Boys to Men program facilitated by Unique Foundation’s male members, benefited over 25 students whereby young boys learnt from mature men.
- Young girls/ women empowerment and one to one mentorship program began. Female members of Unique Foundation met with a group of young girls to educate them on health issues and sexual education. 15 girls benefitted from this program including a pregnant teenager who was allowed to continue with her education after giving birth.
- The mentorship programmes target
*Victims of Teenage pregnancy.
* Delinquents.
*Neglect.
*Children on drugs or whose parents are addicted to drug or alcohol or who are in prison.
*Children living with foster parents, those with antisocial behaviours.
