(My son) left home with his friend and didn’t come back… We had been so desperate when people at Blue Dragon came and brought him back to the family. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude and send big thanks to all the staff working in Blue Dragon, especially to the founder and all the donors. If it hadn’t been for you, our children would have been struggling in this dangerous and alluring world.
