“What we are doing is providing these children with the right academic, creative, and life skills to enable them to have a brighter future. Everyone has a right to education and a healthy life, and Under Armour has graciously contributed a number of yoga mats for our students. Thanks to their contribution, we believe that this will definitely make our students happy as they are able to cultivate a new hobby that is beneficial for their well-being.” said Deborah Henry.

“Life hurls us challenges every day. Sometimes, you just feel like throwing in the towel. That’s why it’s important to always see the bigger picture and realise the core reasons and motivations behind what we do.  Always stay strong and true to yourself, and think to yourself, I will.” advised Debbie when asked about what her inspiring message to young women would be.
