From drug offender to top chef, he's set to run new cafe that hires former convicts. Chef Peter Teo knows the bitter taste of rejection, as all five applications for his first internship were rejected due to his criminal record.

As an "alumnus" of Christian halfway house Breakthrough Missions, which owns the café, Chef Teo said: "I want to do my part and give back, so they don't have to go through what I went through."  It is really amazing how so many ex-offenders have turned over a new leaf owing to the work done in prison by the church. Well done, indeed!
