Palmy father creates business for son
Hi neighbours,
Check out this lovely story! Palmerston North man Saad Al-Harran grew tired of his 22-year-old autistic son Faisal being turned away from jobs, so he created one for him.
He built a hydroponic greenhouse at his home to grow a rare species of cucumber and eggplant, and tasked Faisal with growing and selling the vegetables. What a cool dad! To read more about this, click here.
