Touching thank you message from one of the VCSL children - please take a moment to watch it:
Special thanks from me:
For all the beautiful thank you messages and e-mails I have received from you and your children. They really touched me deeply. Thank you also for sending me all the comments sheets and the beautiful photos of your smiling children.
To all the parents who supported the rehearsal event. It was a great success. Next year I hope I can accommodate more students.
To those of you who pray for me and my ongoing battle with a rare life-threatening medical condition. Your kindness means so much to me and I treasure every single day that I have to work with you all.
MOST importantly thank you to all of the children who are such rays of JOY and HOPE!
