Testimonials<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\t

\u201cAfter attending EPLMF programme, now I feel that my work will be reviewed by people from: Singapore, India, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Nepal. This has made me to feel like a more responsible citizen of Asia.<\/p>\n

I have been transformed from consultant to changemaker. The NUS team has been encouraging. Frontiers are opened and I am now dedicated to achieve different milestones through the principle of \u2018together we can\u2019\u201d. \u2013\u00a0Suhrid Chapagain, Nepal<\/em><\/p>\n\t

\u201cThe greatest impact the program has made on me is the message of a \u00a0social worker\u2019s responsibility towards advocacy. I still keep in mind what Associate Professor Ng Kok Hoe said, \u201cWe might not believe in people or institutions, but we do have to believe in the functions and roles of institutions to do advocacy. It is the responsibility of every single social worker no matter where we serve.\u201d \u2013 Tran Thi Tra My, Vietnam<\/i><\/p>\n\t

\u201cThe program gave me an opportunity to learn more from the NUS professors and other international participants regarding their social work practice in their home countries. There is a number of valuable learning points that I have brought back with me to serve my clients and one of them is the knowledge on how to conduct community needs assessment. It is very relevant to my current work situation and I have a plan to share this knowledge with my co-workers as we go out to assess the needs and resources in the community of our clients who came out of human trafficking situation. I believe that this knowledge will help us serve our clients more effectively.\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 Sovannara Moch, Cambodia<\/em><\/p>\n\t

\u201cI find that the EPLMF Social Service Exchange Program was meaningful to my work.\u00a0I applied my observations from Gracehaven Home in\u00a0Singapore to organizing, managing children and risk-youth at my organisation\u2019s residential homes.<\/p>\n

In addition, the visits to AMKFSC and South Central FSC were learning opportunities about provision of support to the vulnerable. I am applying the skills and methods learned at these centres and at the fundraising and publicity workshop to a project for youth-at-risk.\u201d \u2013 Tran Thi Hien, Vietnam<\/em><\/p>\n\t
