The quote, “IQ70+”, does not mean to label individuals who suffer from mental disabilities. The “+” sign reflected our mission in leading the children to move forward, by seeking more breakthroughs and hopes within their intelligence. It is a bridge built not only to break the gap between social welfare and the public, but to guide these mentally challenged children to walk out from their self-enclosed world.
