It's our goal to make a difference in the lives of the aged, youth and women. Most of our members are people who come from poor backgrounds. At ONE stage or the other they have been victims of hardships, women abuse, human right violations, broken families and substance abuse. THIS enables them to UNDERSTAND the plight of the poor and the suffering.
