Recent Milestone: Christmas Event

Community Impact in Action

On December 22nd, the YAB spearheaded a massive community event bringing together donors, youth volunteers, and the children at the Rescue Centre.

Activities were entirely youth-coordinated, featuring live music, a puppet show, art corners, and a tree-planting initiative.

It was a powerful demonstration of how youth energy can directly foster joy, connection, and tangible donations for the Foundation.
