Stand By Me

FSTEP is now training its 5th batch of participants.

On the first day I said to the Batch 5 Hazel participants, "Destiny has brought us together. We have to stick together and stand by each other so that we can achieve success in the soft skills programme.”

Yes, my message is: “You stand by me. I stand by you. That’s solidarity.”

Of course, it’s easier said than done. Participants from different backgrounds, cultures and religions suddenly find themselves in a new environment.

Due to the fact that the soft skills programme comprises experiential learning activities, their team spirit must be evident from the word go.

Furthermore, the participants are divided randomly into groups for the various soft skills projects. So, they must be able to put aside their personal differences and preferences. Teamwork is an essential requisite for success.

I’m grateful that I am blessed with outstanding participants. They show remarkable teamwork and produce exceptional results right from the start.

Yes, if we stand by each other, if we have solidarity, we can accomplish great things together.
