There are various ways to give back to others; whether it’s through donations or volunteer work they can all make a positive impact on the greater community.

As the creator and coordinator of this project I feel confident that this program will successfully continue on for years to follow, promoting the youth involvement in the community and hopefully encouraging others to donate their spare time to those in need.

This experience has allowed me to grow as a person and helped me discover who I really am, and who I want to become in order to make a difference in this world. I intended to change the lives of others but in turn they have changed
