We have a number of speakers who have come and met the children to inspire them, improve their esteem, communication skills, to encourage them to  achieve their goals despite their difficulties.

All speakers have come from different backgrounds and have achieved in different fields, sports, business, theatre and technical. It is hoped that these people encourage the youths to strive to make achievements.
