The WRC Aftercare programme not only brought joy, it also underscored the importance of women’s development and leadership. From the experience sharing to the motivational sessions, therapy, rejuvenating spa treats and even the delightful aftercare gifts, it was a one-of-a-kind experience and I feel fortunate to have shared this memorable experience with other lovely women, thank you to WILAN for this impactful initiative.
