[quote_box_right]“ACD, has been a blessing to my family, I do hope more families can key in into this wonderful and laudable programme. My two sons attended the programmes and I thank Brenda for given them the opportunity to see how the other side of the world are like. Keep up the good work we are solidly behind you.”

All I can say is ACD helped build my character. Being part of the scheme is like having a second family, where Brenda, the chief executive, is your mother and the students and mentors are your brothers and sisters. Your family’s job is to be your backbone, to help you and guide you through life. This is exactly what ACD is about
