and courteous and are more willing to study and help their parents at home.<br />

of respecting parents and elders, of telling the truth and of <strong>no</strong>t<br />

Padimni’s parents came to our GFA Bridge of Hope center<br />

to thank the teachers for the change they saw in their daughter.<br />
