Being you!

Written By Ruyi Tong

“Smart is… being you!” River, 6 years old.


I received this simple yet deep advice from a six-year-old recently. This advice is a timely reminder of the importance of celebrating all the wondrous qualities that make us who we are… For it is these qualities that enabled us to make a positive difference to the lives of the people that we serve.
