The participants confirmed that the program has changed their perception in on how they reason and look at real life issues; it has opened their mind to a wide view of career choices and personal interest as well as taught them on financial discipline. From the parent side, one of the parent reported that her child is looking for something he can do while he is awaiting to join University, this will help him become responsible with his earnings as well as will keep him engaged to avoid idling.
To the community; the participants came up with a plan on how to serve their neighboring community through acts of services like telling stories to the kindergarten children. The church will have dedicated youths who will lead others to spiritual growth.
