Summary_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________In 1999 I enrolled for my B.Diac Youth Work degree at University of South Africa, Hugenote Collage, Wellington, Western Cape Campus. During the duration of the 3 years course, I was involved as a youth work student with various farm workers and families of farm workers in the Wellington and Paarl areas.

During my four years in Wellington I worked hand in hand with practising and student Social Workers as I shared most of my classes and practical requirements with the student social workers at the campus.
