“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”

Also, during this event, the team has officially presented each member. Our team has a diversity of background and nationalities which strengthen our motto:” Together For Better”. Each member brings to STARTBOARD their own story while they decided to work in STARTBOARD, which we hope can motivate the young to get out of the comfort zone and contribute more to the communities.
