Mila's Story
Take a moment and to read Mila's story on her experience through our Project K programme.
“Ugly, Loser, Pathetic. No one will ever love you. Do everyone a favor, kill yourself.”
The toxic mindset of a 14-year-old. Raised in foster care, abused, exhausted, unstable and insecure. Live in a bus shelter or make the choice to join a program where I will be fed and have a roof over my head. Even if just for a few weeks.
I’d have been a fool not to take the opportunity for kai and friendships. So, I did. I started my wilderness adventure with Project K. The selection process is incredible it managed to select me not at just one high school, but two. I was destined to be a part of the program.
