Projects Done for the Community During the Past Years
Each year, the Association undertakes a project for the benefit of the community. In doing so, we seek to identify a pressing requirement that would, in the context of the then prevailing situation, be substantial enough to commit our collective resources towards, but within a scope manageable enough for the Association to complete.
