In their words

The difference it makes

“My son has always found school difficult, and not fitting in has really knocked his confidence. Since spending time with Eddie at the lakes, we have seen such a change in him. He now talks about fishing all the time and has decided he wants to go to Agricultural College. For the first time, he has a clear goal for his future.”

Parent

“Fishing with Eddie has changed everything for me. Now I want to study at Agricultural College and one day run my own fishery.”
