The sun is shining and the skies are blue. An atmosphere of positivity fills the air here today at this elegant harbour-side venue. As I walk out into the garden area, I see various groups of people, all smartly dressed in light summer attire. On the backdrop of the shimmering marina waters, I am greeted by people of different ages, ethnic backgrounds, and genders all brought together today for one purpose... To celebrate their achievements!
Today is the day when 40 students will graduate from the various courses run by EDAS. The students on these courses come from all walks of life, many of them have been service users who have worked against adversity not only to overcome their problems but to surpass themselves by taking on new challenges and embracing life as it can and should be.
This year's EDAS graduation was a perfect celebration of what we can achieve together and the embodiment of what it means to
GROW, PROGRESS, ACHIEVE, EMPOWER!
It is with great pride that I stand side by side with the staff and students of EDAS on this auspicious occasion. Congratulations one and all!
