“Aylin, what do you want to be when you grow up?” her teacher asked, and with a twinkle in her eye, she said, “I want to be a doctor!”
Life wasn’t easy for Aylin and her family. Their tiny home had little space and fewer resources. A flickering light bulb hung above. They cooked on a small gas stove in the corner, with no separate kitchen. Without a bathroom, they had to use a public toilet that was far away, making daily life challenging. The streets outside were bustling with laughter and shouting, but the odour of garbage lingered in the air.
Aylin admired her mother, who worked tirelessly as a domestic worker to support them. Our CCC enrolled Aylin’s mother into Vision Rescue’s three-month Beautician & Haircare Course. She was a quick learner and cleared the assessment with flying colours, and quickly began to take orders in her neighbourhood at home. In just three months, we witnessed Aylin’s mother transform from a quiet, shy woman with little confidence and hope for the future into an outspoken lady.
As her mother grew more confident, Aylin began to blossom too. She started participating more in class and made new friends. Aylin’s grades also improved. One child’s success created opportunities for the entire family. We are grateful to our generous donors for making this change possible!
