“This journey has been nothing short of tenacity,
adventure, faith, hope and love. You really don't
know how far you can go, until you risk travelling far.
Looking back, all the challenges we faced indeed
happened for a reason and we are grateful for that.
What kept us going on was the love that we had in
what we are doing and the help of the community.
We cannot emphasize enough of the strength in
numbers, especially when it comes to giving back to
the society. Lastly, we would like to leave a quote.
“As far as regret, I think that's the sign of a well lived
life. If I grew old without having regrets, I'd regret
my caution.””
