Our Abuesi Community Garden has achieved its most successful harvest to date! This month, our young farmers produced over 600kg of fresh vegetables including tomatoes, onions, okra, and leafy greens. The surplus is being sold at the local market, with proceeds supporting the program and providing income for participants. We're particularly proud of the innovative irrigation system designed and built by our participants. The success of this project demonstrates the potential for sustainable agriculture in our community. Thank you to all volunteers and supporters who made this possible!

We're thrilled to share the remarkable achievements of our Youth Leadership Academy graduates! Eight months after completing the program, our alumni have initiated 15 community improvement projects across Abuesi. These include a neighborhood cleanup initiative, a peer tutoring network, and a youth sports league. Additionally, eight graduates have been elected to student government positions in their respective schools. Their leadership and dedication continue to inspire positive change in our community. Congratulations to all our graduates - you're making Abuesi proud!

CYALE hosted its annual Volunteer Appreciation Day last weekend, celebrating the incredible individuals who make our programs possible. Over 40 volunteers gathered for a day of recognition, sharing, and planning for the future. Our volunteers contribute over 1,000 hours monthly to various programs, from tutoring and mentoring to administrative support and event coordination. Special recognition went to long-time volunteers who have served for over three years.
