Hands of help and hope

EDUCATION can lift people out of poverty and secure them a decent life. Yet, many refugee children are denied this chance when they drop out of “schools” and learning centres in order to make ends meet for their families.

Witnessing the refugees and the pain they endured prompted UCSI Scholars Circle (U-Schos) members Suzanne Ling Shook Shian, 23, Tanasha Azalea Suhandani, 21, and Lim Yuet Kim, 26, to start the Hands Of Hope (HOH) project in 2014.
