sa ro There's an old chinese saying: 'The best time to plant a tree, is 20 years ago. The next best time is today., It's the motto that's been guiding us as we nurtured hundreds of vulnerable youth this past year. It's always challenging to watch their lack and suffering- the missing roots that should've been planted from when they were born. Yet we focus on providing them today• SO that we can help them grow the best they can- and grow they do! From shy, uncertain youth that started the year at our programme, left empowered responsible young adults filled with optimism and a desire to give back to the community. Our theme this past year evolved around protecting our enviroment. We covered topics like recyclingj caring for the planeti pollution, and not destroying our beautiful world. It's been a treat watching our charges connect with nature, give back to the world, and growth through the experience. We want to express our deep gratitude to our generous donors who help us nurture our youth- we couldn't have done it without you! Signed on behalf of GYAB; Mordechai Mund Ill J•dq
