Families, supporters and important community partners gathered to celebrate the students who underwent intensive training.

Sister Allison Andrews, founder of the non-profit, commended the graduates for not only completing their formal training but also for the impact they have already had in surrounding communities.

“Through their fieldwork, they have supported vulnerable families, assisted with wellness initiatives, and brought comfort and hope to individuals in dire need,” said Andrews.

She also expressed her deep gratitude to everyone that contributed to the success of the programme, including sponsors, volunteers and partner organisations.

“I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and everyone who assisted in making this programme a success,” she said.

The ceremony celebrated both the students and the foundation for solidifying its hard work and commitment to care. Andrews said that Mediskills Healthcare Foundation has always been about empowering individuals with the ability and compassion to make a difference in their communities.
