We had a University Of Michigan Actuarial Professor, Roger Narayan, talk to us about the program and possible opportunities available to high school students in the Actuarial Department post high school. We thank Profesor Narayan and his entire faculty for putting together a wonderful presentation for all of our members and everyone who supported Yuva Bharathi in making this event a success!
This was our final meeting for the year. We made over 100 different holiday greeting cards for hospitalized children for a local hospital through the combined effort of several of our members! In addition to this, we also got the opportunity to meet with two Canton PD officer who talked to us about their jobs, problems in our local community, and how they tackle the several problems they face on a day to day basis as a police officer.
Yuva Bharathi made blankets for children at the Children's Center in Detroit MI. Every year, Yuva Bharathi has been working with its members to give blankets to this charity. The Children's Center provides a safe home for children without parents and gives deserving children the necessary resources they need to lead a happy and successful life. Our members worked for two hours with the seniors at the temple to tie and cut blankets. The event was a huge success thanks to everyone's invaluable contributions!
On Sunday September 22nd, Yuva Bharathi organized boxes of school supplies for foster care children at the Michigan Foster Care Closet! This was our first official meeting for the year for new members! All of our members were introduced to Yuva Bharathi and got the opportunity to participate in our first volunteering event of the year. In addition to our meeting, we also had a guest speaker, Mrs.Racheal Secord, come in to talk to us about the closet and how our donations will make an impact to foster care children in Michigan. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our event as well as everyone who donated to make this back to school drive very successful! Yuva Bharathi created several blankets for hospitalized children at the Mott Children's Hospital. Thanks to the gracious help of the seniors at the Hindu Temple of Canton, we were able to create over 50 blankets!
We had a successful back to school drive and were able to collect a huge amount of school supplies for children at the Project Linus school in Canton. A huge thank you to everyone who spread the word about our drive and helped to make this year's back to school very successful!
On December 22nd, 2017 Yuva Bharathi held their last meeting of the year. In this meeting, they elected the new executive board for 2018 and looked back at some of the cultural events and fundraisers they organized this year. Looking back into 2017, Yuva Bharathi raised more money than they did last year. Their goals for the upcoming year is to expand their club with more members and to organize more fundraising events.
Our first cultural event of the year is coming up on April 23rd. Contact YB Board members to sign up for a committee to work on that night. You can also help by spreading the word to your friends and family about this event and making announcements at the temple.
On Friday, we made cards for veterans in the Armed Forces. These cards included uplifting messages, beautiful drawings, or cringe-worthy puns. Next month we will be hosting the Canton Police Department. Please bring your friends for the activity on Friday, March 10. Also, planning for the April Cultural Event is starting, so help Yuva Bharathi by recruiting more members so we can put on a great show.
