YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SERVICES

Adrian Van Rooi Brant is the director of a social legal company based in Belhar. The main core of the business is working with children and families of divorced and single parents and separation.

They also do community development projects where Roosendal High School are one of their new pilot projects where they focus on grade 12 learners of disadvantage areas. This year they will be having a beauty pageant with an educational twist. Between semi finals and the finals coming up on 7 July 2018,  they have to master certain skills. They are required to attend excursions which are all about self-esteem development and helps them prepare for post matric.

They are a multi professional group. Adrian is a qualified social worker for 17 years, and a S print lawyer. They've got advocates on the team and psychologist on the team.

Mr Brandon Van de Vyfer: " I'm from B styled SA founder. How I got involved in this project, is when Adrian contacted me and said that he wants to do with the kids and wants go the route of a beauty pageant. Beacuse of me being in a styling and fashion industry, I hoped at the opportunity because one of my passions is helping the community" .

Adrian and Brandon are business partners and have come together to work with the Roosendal High School kids and have grown to love them. There will be a Mr and Mrs beauty pageant and a KKPP winner on the 7 July and they will be waling the road with them towards tertiary education and whatever opportunities come up
