"I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to the hard work of the PURE UBC team for taking good care of the "troop". It is not an easy task to manage a group comprised of young men, ladies, boys and girls and to cater for the needs of the different age groups. I have kept in close contact with my son (a 13 year old) during his stay in Canada. Judging from the decreasing frequency of phone calls he had with me, I deduced that he must be having a wonderful time and the reassurance of the familiar voice from home was not needed. My son told me that he has learned a great deal through the English classes and the music tuitions. It certainly is an eye-opener for youngsters from Hong Kong to interact with their peers in Canada. I will not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone. Keep up with the good work."
Nelson Wong , P.4 Raimondi College (Primary Section)
