She said: “I am very passionate about this project as I would love to help the underprivileged children. I will be contributing towards making a tangible difference at the school by helping with teaching, multisports, building and renovation work. Please donate anything you can, every penny will help and go towards helping and improving the children’s lives. Your support will give me the opportunity to offer my time, and skills to people in need.”
