Di Owens and Em – Building Life Skills
Di is the Director and Em is the vice chair. Both ladies donate their time. They are changing the disability industry.
They have come to 8 markets and have made over $10 000 selling things like heat bags and planter boxes that have been made by participants. The goal is to build a sustainable place for people with a disability to live in Kalamunda. These are people who are trying to live independently – they just need support for this to happen.
Presentation included videos of participants which were inspiring, and which we have a copy of. A wonderful evening.
