When I started my mission in MYRC (Manila Youth and Reception Center) with Charles and Egon, French and Austrian volunteers in August 2002, I never imagined that 20 years later this project would have grown into a program – so important and impactful for this country and for France.
SCP began first in our hearts. We dared to believe that these young people who committed crimes, detained in a Youth Home under challenging conditions, could become who they are today, responsible, respectful, successful citizens with a deep desire to give back to others.
We then met Edward, Nino, John Paul, and many others who are today’s husbands and fathers, building their families and professional careers thus helping the new generations of CICL (Children in Conflict with the Law) youth to dream big.
After 20 years, the SCP alumni are numerous, they are an inspiration for the new generations of youth, by giving their testimonies, training, and coaching them. May this continuous chain of shared compassion and courage flourish and give Life to much more youth!
Happy 20th Anniversary!
