Last week, Dr Low Lee Yong launched his book “I Dare to Dream”. About 200 people attended the launch held at MHC Asia’s premises in Singapore.
Dr Low, who is the founder of MHC Asia, Singapore’s largest third-party medical administrator, which links over 1000 clinics in Singapore, has been a staunch supporter of Goducate from its beginning. MHC Asia is Goducate’s largest corporate sponsor, giving up to 10% of its profits to Goducate. It also provides us with space in its office for use as Goducate’s headquarters, as well as with staffing help and services that we need to run our office. These provisions enable Goducate to save money on office rental and administrative costs, which can instead be used to fund our projects.
In the book, Dr Low describes his life growing up in a poor village and struggling against all odds to achieve his dreams. This story resonates with Goducate’s goal of helping needy Asians help themselves—by first helping them to dare to dream.
Dr Low dedicated this book to Goducate with these words: “This book is dedicated to the lives that have been touched by Goducate and the lives it will continue to touch”. He presented me a personally signed copy with these words “Dear Paul, Thanks for bringing Goducate into MHC and for bringing new meaning into MHC business”.
I brought a pile of personally signed copies of the book to Goducate Training Center in Iloilo, Philippines, to give to our new batch of trainees, and I encouraged them to read the book and to learn to dream. Daring to dream is an important part of our training because our graduates will go on to help needy Asians—many of whom fear to dream of ever breaking out of their hopeless lives!
