His story is one of those cited as evidence of what the team can provide ISO when it will do a contract. He did not always feel support services to help him, so optimistic when he referred to the ISO. He said: "I was under a rock, in fact I'm more down than, a million miles further down. I find it really hard to trust people as, in the past, aid agencies let me down and when I became involved with the ISO I think they are exactly the same, but I'm really not surprised. '
