Introduce yourself
Hello everyone! I am Dr Roland, Executive Director and former resident of Boys’ Town. After leaving Boys’ Town, I pursued a degree in Engineering and worked in the technical and training consultancy sector. In 2004, I decided to retrace my roots and returned to Boys’ Town as a youth worker and have been here ever since.
To me, Home is…
A safe place for people to express themselves. It is a place where we learn from our mistakes and count our blessings. It is also a place which helps us to grow into better versions of ourselves.
What is your favourite thing about your home?
Boys’ Town is a second home to me – where I spent my childhood and where I was supported and given opportunities to express myself and grow from my mistakes. It is a welcoming, diverse and inclusive space focused on forgiveness and growth. I’ve learnt so much about myself and about the many different circumstances of the different boys.
