Report on Youth Development

“In my vision I saw many things that I love. I was very grateful that people were united to do good things. I saw my family very happy because they have a good life. It is because of my dreams that I fulfill. I saw Philippines is now a better place. There are no poor people, no crimes, no corruption in the government, no shortage problems. I wish that what I saw today is real one day”
