Do you know any 'Boomerang Babies'?

Painting buildings has been through a lot of changes over the years.
When I was doing my apprenticeship in the '80s water based paint systems were just coming in. Most of what we used were the oil based systems (thinned with turpentine). It would be lunchtime and the fumes from painting behind that toilet door at the Regent hotel in Auckland would make my nose run! I don't know how, but I managed to complete the 4 years training without too much brain damage!
Then of course before the 1960's, paint was often lead based, a toxic chemical that causes serious health issues. Thankfully, lead in paint was banned, but some home owners today still discover this dangerous chemical in the original coating on their property. Painters now have to follow strict safety rules to prepare and repaint these homes without getting sick.
I'm grateful for the changes that aim to value and protect the humble painter!

When it was dark, my brothers would pick me up and we would walk the streets... I hated school and wanted to drop out early.

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.

We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.
