Coffee and Determination: Richard’s Inspiring Journey to Success
Thank you for your support of our causes and for being a part of our journey to improve the quality of life for our youth.
Richard’s fascination with the world of hospitality began during his educational journey at YCAB’s learning center. His relentless pursuit of excellence eventually led him to the world of coffee, where today, he proudly stands as a full-time barista at Starbucks. What truly sets Richard apart are his proficiency in two crucial skills—computer literacy and English proficiency, skills he honed at YCAB’s Learning Center. English fluency is crucial for serving an international clientele, and computer skills are indispensable for order processing.
Today, Richard is living with his family, and together with his sister Venda, who is also a YCAB alumni, they are able to contribute to their family’s economy.
The story of Richard is not just a tale of a career ascent but a testament to the power of determination and the indispensable role of education. It underscores how an unwavering pursuit of passion can lead to unparalleled success, whether you’re crafting lattes or reaching for the stars. Richard’s journey serves as a testament to the enduring power of dreams.
