With an investment of Re. 1/- each, they totally aggregated Rs 5/- of their monthly pocket money, to establish the YSS.

The ongoing projects promoted by the YSS area subsidized Parish library, free employment bureau, blood donation camps, distribution of free text books to needy children of Bandra, organizing a Summer Holiday Club for school children.

The Organisation is now in its 38th year of its existence and much of its success attained is primarily due to the motto it follows “WE SERVE OTHERS TO SHOW WE CARE”. (read less)
