I have been joining FCSN for about 7 years. I didn't pay that much attention to FCSN until 2009 when my sister sent her
son to live with me, in hope of using acupuncture to help with his behaviors, that was the time FCSN came to my mind
again. My nephew has been benefited from many programs from FCSN. And most importantly he and I have made many
friends from FCSN, a great support that we can't find it anywhere else! I have a lot of respect to people at FCSN and
would like to be part of the FCSN family. I am willing to help whenever I can. I was the EBRG seminar coordinator for a
while and I'm currently the EBRG education program coordinator.
