The mission of PIANGE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY (PDC) is to introduce and engage young people in a variety of activities which stimulate and enhance their self-improvement, both mentally and physically, by teaching self-respect and self-discipline while building self-esteem.
PDC was founded in 1982 in response to a need to offer positive alternatives for youth self-improvement. Young ladies were taught modeling and social etiquette via which they developed poise and self confidence in their formative years. Young men were introduced to Gung Fu martial arts which built self-confidence.
