SINGAPORE – When he was in Secondary 2, Brayden Toh was not doing well. He had thoughts of dropping out and spent every day after school gaming till late.
On Sunday, Brayden and nine of the club’s members, aged 13 to 23, will take part in a 128km round-island race to raise funds for youth at risk and children with learning difficulties. Shine provides early intervention for children with learning difficulties, as well as counselling and leadership development programmes for youth at risk of dropping out of school or who have committed theft, drug or minor offences.
“The people who surround me in that team have really helped me grow,” he added. “As a younger person, I’m really not sure what I should do in my life. I’m still learning, and the older people really taught me a lot, like why I shouldn’t give up on my studies even though I may not be doing well.”
