I am a God fearing woman and a positive person. Always on time for everything and committed. I am open for any challenges. I always put God first in everything I do. My passion is to do Bully programs in schools and help drop-outs finish their schooling. I am a very good listener.

Bernadette Herbert

Director of EBL

Before I started at EBL I did volunteer work with a very close friend, teaching children how to read and feed the small ones in the morning. My passion are children, just to have an impact on their lives is a blessing. I'm also very committed and would love to do more.

Denise Albertus

Director Of EBL

Before EBL, I was working in restaurants as a help around and worked myself up to a chef. I then worked at an Events company doing planning, quotes and setting up meetings. I am volunteering myself at our primary schools and high schools. I spend most of my time at one of the primary schools in Hanover Park giving my time for the children. I am seeing the ladies and myself go far in our program and proud of the work we have done in the community.
