I take this as a tremendous act you do for us and so much more to our children. I would like to emphasize to the Tan Yan Kee representatives present in this special occasion that your good Foundation created a better world for our children to have their dreams realized as they journeyed through their high school days. Our children were able to see a brighter and wider horizon that they can pursue their high school education as your Foundation extended the needed help to them. The little hope in the hearts of our children has indeed grown bigger. Opportunities in the remote areas became accessible. I would like to thank God for every endeavor the Tan Yan Kee Foundation does for our children. Again, thank you.” |
