James has gone from being bullied and getting intofights at school to really enjoying having the extraresponsibility of looking after the needs of Miners Rest kids.All of his sentences either start with KWAV or cricket!!Family, friends and locals all want to know what the nextproject is. It’s given him so much more confidence and self belief.This is just what James needed.”
