May the youths lead the Buddhist community with clarity, humility and spirit!

On Sunday 15 June, members of Nalanda Youth Centre gathered for Youth Members Day.  The gathering began with offerings and chanting, followed by the introduction of the newly-appointed officers for the term 2025/2027, led by Bro. Yeo Disheng as the Youth Leader.

Youth members were then invited to recollect and rejoice over the numerous impactful programmes organised by the Youth Sunday Service, Young Working Adults, and Undergraduate teams from January to May 2025.  Two of the youth members, Sis. Ng Pei Fei and Bro. Leong Ji Liang also shared their testimonies on how the Youth Centre has helped them to grow and transform their lives. We took the opportunity to thank the previous leaders of 2023/2025 for their efforts and selfless contributions that have resulted in this fruitful platform for Youth members to learn and serve.
