"Team Malah spent two weeks in Chengdu, China. We spent half our trip at Xian He School where our main goal was to expose the students there to expose students to the world beyond their community and, boost their confidence in speaking in a foreign language."

- Jadie, Team Malah

"Everyone in the team benefited immensely from this project, as it allowed us to have a new perspective on the lives of others in another country whose lifestyles were extremely different to ours."

- Jodie, Project #payitPHOward

"My experience with YEP has definitely changed my life in many ways. Most prominently, it has made me more empathetic and open in my day to day life."

- Lavinia, Project HerePhoGood

"I was eager to join Project Guyub, a YEP-GO project, as it allowed me to network with other likeminded youths while contributing to communities across geographical borders."

- Nelly, Project Guyub

"The countless memories and friendships that I have forged have left me wanting to continue serving the community through YEP."

- Poh Sin, Project Speak Up
