But what he is most proud of is his advancement in communication. “I’ve improved my communication skills a lot. It’s something I’m always trying to improve. Last year we had training on how to work better as a team and how to communicate. I really liked the training.”
When asked what the best part of working at Sunnyfield is, it was an easy answer. The Sports Camp. “It’s so much fun. We all go away for 2 nights and play lots of sports and have a themed dance night. My favourite is the tug-of-war.”
