G.L.O.W. Success Stories

• “GLOW showed me who I really am…I was extremely shy before this camp but during this

camp I learned how to be interactive and open. The most important thing that I learned at GLOW is ‘Be

free, live your life the way you want to.”

• “Participation in GLOW camp gave me courage to take an exam for FLEX! And it increased my self-

confidence in me and I started to take risks.”
