The Youth Centre members met and discussed harmoniously.

On Sunday 17 March, Nalanda Youth members gathered at Nalanda Youth Centre in Sri Serdang for the first Youth Members’ Day of 2024.  The purpose of this gathering is to formally welcome new Youth members on board, to reflect on our learning journey over the past year, and to align our direction for the year ahead.

Youth Leader, Bro. Yap Kuan Yi hosted the gathering with high energy, warmth, and enthusiasm.  He prompted members by asking “What Nalanda Youth Centre is to you?” and expressed his heartfelt appreciation to all members for their active participation and selfless service.  Bro. Kuan Yi also invited on stage four exceptional youth members who went above and beyond in their contribution to the Youth Centre to share their journey and aspirations with us.
