Our group, Amigos, was established more than 20 years ago by the Augustinian Friars with the primary aim of providing youths an opportunity to carry out voluntary work amongst the poorest of poor in summer. This year’s group, composed of 10 youths, shall be heading off to Mozambique to aid the local communities through various projects including the construction of humble dwellings, maintenance of community buildings, distribution of food to families as well as carrying out social activities with children and youths with the primary aim of educating them.
It is also customary for the group to annually hold a number of fund raising activities in order to facilitate the purchase of any resources that such communities need and provide them with basic necessities that we might take for granted. These include basic resources such as shelter, food and clothing. |
