“I am beyond grateful to have experienced this kind of stuff. Not everyone can have the same opportunity as I do. It’s exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

At the end of the aforementioned program, the volunteers were given the chance to highlight and apply the phrase "depart to serve" in their quest towards implementing literacy, numeracy and skills enhancement activities.
