At Dignity, we are privileged to witness incredible stories of resilience and triumph among our students. One such story is that of Lian Nu, who joined Dignity at the tender age of 11.
Lian Nu's early years were fraught with difficulties. She faced financial constraints and lacked access to education. Fortunately, her relatives informed her parents about Dignity for Children Foundation. Lian Nu's parents enrolled her in the program, offering her a chance for a brighter future.
Lian Nu joined Dignity College's Employability Program, setting her on a transformative path.
"2021 was an unforgettable year for me. We started the year with the live-in program alongside teachers and students at Sentul," Lian Nu shared.
The initial month was spent there before transitioning to Dignity Farm Academy in Bentong, with six teachers and ninety students. For three months, Lian Nu and her fellow students learned valuable skills in cooking, farming, agriculture, and sustainable living practices.
Lian Nu excitedly recounted, "I gained leadership skills and learned how to solve problems and conflicts as part of a team."
However, due to restricted movement orders, they had to abruptly move to Sentul for another two months, adapting to a new environment and facing unexpected changes.
She expressed, "We also receive financial aid and scholarships from school to continue my studies."
This assistance proved pivotal in enabling her to persevere and pursue her educational journey despite the obstacles she faced.
Lian Nu's story is a testament to her resilience and the unwavering support of Dignity's teachers and generous contributions of donors. This sollective efforts empowered her to overcome obstacles and continue ther education.
