Participant: SO Ka-ho
Organisation: Hong Kong Children & Youth Services
Project: Stand by Me II (Tai Po and North) - The fourth batch of NGO-run project
SO Ka-ho, who is a participant in the“Stand by Me II” project (Tai Po and North) operated by Hong Kong Children & Youth Services, has quitted school since Form three. At that time, he did not have a stable job and that’s why he described himself as a NEET. After joining CDF, he learned how to hang on persistently and is also willing to try things out. He even changed from someone who lives from paycheck to paycheck to a person who knows how to make savings and use money wisely. Under the influence of his mentor, Ka-ho has decided to spend some of his Targeted Savings on taking a course in building construction. He works as a gondola trainee now. His goal is to become a master as soon as possible.
