There were various fun activities and games conducted for the community, providing a great opportunity for members to meet and connect with one another. We hosted a fundraising event and cultural show in September as part of the Onam Celebration. The event included a traditional feast, and approximately 578 people participated. Around 100 volunteers contributed to organizing and presenting the cultural show. In December, we hosted another fundraising event and cultural show as part of the Christmas Celebration. This event featured a cultural program and dinner, with roughly 500 attendees. About 150 volunteers participated in organizing the cultural show. In addition, we organized volunteer activities to prepare and donate sandwiches to the Guest House of Milwaukee. We conducted nine such volunteer opportunities throughout the year. We also launched a new educational program for school children using an online app and started a couple of online events to help promote their soft skills.
