It is exactly a year now since the 2008 Student Training in Attitude and Responsibility (STAR) motivation session for the Form 5 students of Sri Permata School in SS3. Although the programme ended halfway through due to unforeseen events, the memories and experiences are still unforgettable.
Now, we are back again, gaining momentum once again for the 2009 session. We had a meeting yesterday to finalize the one-day mid term camp for the students. And as usual, Monty, Vijay and I headed to the restaurant near the SS3 centre for dinner.
As we entered, we saw a familiar face smiling at us. It was our 2008 STAR student, having dinner with his parents. So we went over to him, and asked him what he was doing now.
“I am studying at MAHSA college Anne, doing physiotherapy.”
Then he continued, “Thanks for your help, Anne.”
That was quite a pleasant surprise for us. It was a small reminder to us that the Lord is watching over them, and us even beyond what we do on a weekly or monthly basis. We only completed half the STAR session last year, and the Lord made an impact in that boy’s life through us.
Then he came back to us and said, “Ok Anne, bye. My parents’ already paid for your food.”
And he left.
That left us with a renewed spirit, not because of the free food, but the encounter with this small miracle and transformation that we saw.
Promo line: Join us every Friday 7.15am to 8.15am at Sri Permata School SS3 for STAR Sessions.
