Building Character & Distinguished Leadership
As much as one would like to see that a child under our care grows up to be a man or woman of great character, it takes years of sweat, tears, stewed with unconditional love to get a glimse of satisfactory character.
As the Foundation has spent years running programs, activities and training adult volunteers to inturn, mentor and coach the young people to be leaders in their circle of influence, we see the benefits that affects the young person, as they grow to take their place in the local community.
For a young teen, PT, whose single mom has to support her 3 children before meeting his step father, he must have felt somewhat alone as his dad was not around to guide him in his growing up years.
His attendance in the programs and activities organised by the Foundation has helped nurture him through his developmental years, as well as support from his new family.
He attended numerous leadership camps,was given opportunities to lead and meet other leaders of his age and even those of different ages ranging from pre-teens to adults of retirement ages, helped him learn different leadership styles and approaches to leading others.
When PT was asked if he would be willing to help out the organistaion, he readily said, "YES, I would like to give back for all that I have received". As a result he has joined in the executive committee that oversees the programs and activites for children and youths, and will be able to input the views of the younger generation to help our organisation move forward in the new decade.
This would not have been possible without the help of donors and supports for which the long journey of polishing a potential stone into a sparkling gem (distinguished leader) would not have been possible.
Thanks to all supporters and a Very Happy New Year to all!
