Mark your calendars and save your Saturday afternoons for the World Youth Alliance!
Every Saturday, the WYAAP office hosts discussions on the dignity of the person, development and other crucial issues that we face today. You are all invited to drop by and join in on the discussions! We’d love to hear your thoughts on these topics.
Kindly give us a call or an email if you’re interested in attending one (or all!) of these discussions!
