This newly formed group is vital to raise the awareness of our families in terms of education and all parental issues reported by our members as the gap between parents and youth is getting bigger with new social trends that are somewhat challenging to our community. This group is meeting monthly and we summon strongly all volunteers capable of addressing those important issues and willing to have a leadership role in the community to join the ranks of this very important group.

This group focuses mainly on parents’ needs and challenges to handle properly and positively their children. It does not target the children as such.
