Participant sharing
"I was born in a grass-root family. It was very hard for me to participate in any extracurricular activities and tutorial classes due to my family financial condition. I started isolating myself from the real world, and gradually became a timid, introverted girl. Thanks to the accompany of Connie (Mentor) to participate in various activities such as workshops on stress management, DIY lipstick workshop, English class, farm visit and Disneyland fun day etc. They were not only fun learning activities, but also a way to relieve my pressure. I found my life more meaningful and splendid now."
