Luke’s Culinary Triumph: A Major Milestone in Independence

Luke, a participant in Mai-Wel’s 1:1 capacity building program, has achieved a major milestone in his journey toward independence. Last Friday, Luke independently prepared a healthy, homemade lunch consisting of chicken nuggets and chips – a true testament to his dedication and progress.

The journey began at the grocery store, where Luke practiced his budgeting and money management skills, successfully shopping for all the necessary ingredients. Back home, he confidently prepared his meal, crumbing the chicken nuggets himself and cutting fresh potatoes into chips, which he cooked in an air fryer.

This accomplishment highlights Luke’s growing ability to take on important daily tasks, from kitchen hygiene to fine motor skills, all while maintaining a focus on health and well-being.

The team at Mai-Wel is incredibly proud of Luke’s achievement. His ability to prepare a nutritious meal independently represents a significant step in his development and self-sufficiency.

Through our 1:1 capacity building program, we are committed to providing tailored support that helps participants like Luke reach their goals, develop essential skills, and lead fulfilling lives. Luke’s journey is a powerful reminder of the impact of persistence and encouragement.
