Building Self Esteem

When my daughter asked me to send her to Geylang Lorong 23, I gasped! 
Geylang is a famous red light district in Singapore.  It is definitely not safe for a girl to go there at night.  She reassured me that her project team had done their research, and all 9 of them will take all precautions, stay close together and watch over each other.

For the first time, I come to know about the HighPoint Halfway House and the good work that was done for ex-offenders to help them reintegrate back into society.  Male ex-offenders who have completed their addiction treatment can apply to join a residential rehabilitation program to undergo counseling and on-the-job-training.

As most of the residents were working in the day,  the 3-session workshop was conducted at night. The workshop theme was to help build self esteem.  Not only the residents benefited from this project, I believe these young volunteers also learned a great deal on  teamwork and leadership skills.
