Thus, we have to find one where we can express ourselves and get self-discovery. We cannot know ourselves without someone else around and we should take other ones as our reflection. Sagrim added, "Don’t see Stube-HEMAT only as an institution or organization but please regard it  as a really place that God has prepared for every youth to recognize his/her potency. God prepares this instituion to show it like my own experience before. I recognized myself through this institution. May God bless Stube-HEMAT".
