They've gained a lot of life skills, not just through the enterprise aspect of the project, but other things as well - we've tried some of the recipes in class so they have learned to cook, they've improved their literacy skills through the amount of writing and reading in putting the book together, and they have been doing all the cash handling too."So they've had to work out how to spend their funds, and what to use it all.
