Our Story

One Man's 15-Year Dedication

Once I had experienced the stigma and discrimination toward the challenged, I figured how difficult it would be for the underprivileged to wade through these difficult situations. They are like my own children — I want to give them a better life. The only way anyone can succeed and make a difference in the world is through education.
