“Since working for Blue Sky, he has changed. He is much more helpful at home and happier in himself, his confidence is increasing all the time. Blue Sky has given him something to get up for in the morning, a pay packet at the end of the week and is teaching him good work ethics, team building and new skills. I feel proud of him now, which is something I, as a mother, haven’t felt for a while. Thank you Blue Sky.“
