“When you are shackled by poverty, mere survival is the only choice. When I rendered volunteer services in the Youth Program and currently as a staff, I found my greatness. There's also greatness in helping and empowering the youth. The work I do gives me the opportunity to give the love and mentoring they need. And there is nothing more fulfilling than to be an inspiration to others.”

“Being able to help others makes me happy. One does not need to be rich to do that. It was also another opportunity to inspire people, to show them that having a disability is not a hindrance to helping other people.”

“I love working with teens and using my passion for sports as a way of helping others. It is such an amazing feeling knowing that you’re being used as a channel of the help the sponsors are bringing. I believe that the sensible youth are the hope of the country, and I fully trust the programs of CI to help them discover their skills and talents, as well as help them build their character at a young age to be that hope.”
