Having lived in a third world country for 12 years, this taught me survival, especially at an emotional level. Though not easy, I decided to use these unfortunate experiences for positive things to empower others. My level of compassion and empathy for those who experienced the same brokenness and pain is revealed through my determination to help and empower them. This is evidenced through my involvement in Welfare focused organisations such as Teen Challenge, Youth Alive and my local church.
