“I like having short interactions with the kids for like five minutes and then the next time the kid sees me, they have a smile on their face,” Dang said. “You never know if that’s what the kid needed that day, you know, and I’m happy to be in the position where I have those long or short interactions with kids. And it’s amazing to see the kids grow too, from the beginning to the end of club sessions.”
