Taking part in this Values in Action activity has opened my eyes and taught me to be more appreciative of everything we have around us such as expressways and buildings, as they were built by the migrant workers. I hope that the migrant workers enjoy the care packs and that it puts a smile on their faces.”

I hope they will enjoy the care packages we made for them to let them know that they are appreciated for everything they have done.”
