Mum Worth it ? - absolutely yes. I always maintain that we take something from every experience. Perspective is a wonderful thing and should be kept a hold of at all times. So use perspective to reflect on everything that happened out there and what you achieved individually as well as part of a team at GVSP, ICS and VSO. If possible continue the good work you started from the Ukkkkaayy.

Melrose Fougere Glad you survived...and with a sense of humor

Melrose Fougere Terrific achievement. You've got a lot of your mother's determination to make things (or people!!!) work!

Melrose Fougere Okay, I hit the wrong key. I was going to give you five STARS!

Mum Truly inspiring.

Gill Jones I am thankful that your project has come to fruition and hope that it continues on after you leave. YOU HAVE made a difference to the lives of Deaf Filipinos - job done
