Project Khwaish XVII<br />
Since 2003, <strong>YSA</strong> has embarked and completed 17 community projects in Punjab. The year 2017<br />
was no different. Twenty young Singaporeans, led by a veteran leader participated in a journey of<br />
selfless and charitable service in aid of underprivileged and needy children in Punjab, India. The<br />
volunteers, made up of multi-racial Singaporeans, spent three weeks in December 2017 as part of<br />
<strong>YSA</strong>’s Project Khwaish XVII community service at the Government Primary School in Rattoke village<br />
of Sangrur district.<br />
During the project from 8 to 31 December 2017, the expedition team painted the school, set up a<br />
library filled with about 2,500 books and assisted in the renovation of the school’s toilets. The team<br />
also presented gifts, toys, stationery and clothes to all of the students as well as special prizes to the<br />
top three students in each level and prizes to the top male and female student. The team personally<br />
handed out clothes to the villagers and the needy. The team also took time off their busy schedule<br />
to interact with the students and teachers, and participated in games with the students.<br />
In order to recognize the voluntary work of the participants of this round of Project Khwaish, <strong>YSA</strong><br />
