We will also provide traditional meals and housing to homebound seniors, and hold fundraising events in order to provide immediate disaster relief and assistance to communities. We eventually have a website that incorporates our programs and will reach out to those in need, and also accept applications, over the phone and in person at our community center. We will network with other nonprofit organizations to ensure we are able to help the members of our community as effectively as possible.

Our Youths will achieve self-regulation through awareness of self and one’s surroundings, management of one’s attention, and the emotions and behaviors to achieve essential goals. Youth acquiring knowledge and skills is important to reflect information or understanding about oneself, the ability to execute tasks, and understanding other people and the world. Beliefs and attitudes about oneself and understanding the interaction between the two are paramount for the everyday experiences of our youths. Moreover, the beliefs about what is good or bad and what one thinks is important in life endure values for our youths.
Acquiring these qualities, our youths can be reinforced to face the everyday challenges of life. It is important for every child to develop during certain stages of childhood because they lay the foundation for a successful generation.
We will also offer to fundraise after disasters and provide disaster relief in the form of food and by assisting other nonprofits and people in need. Through our community center, we will work to raise awareness of our nonprofit, other nonprofits, and issues the community is facing.
