Strong relationships are built on collaboration and cooperation between members. After graduation, some of us build communities through association or clubs. It's a common trend for a member to have personal challenges in which members get involved by contributing to support the course. The association upgraded the old trend and introduced welfare fund last year, June, with an aim to support its members on specific challenges as per the constitution. We started with 8 members, and now the membership has grown to 74. The welfare has managed to support one member and is still capable of supporting 4 cases as we speak. That's the story of the welfare. We tell the story of the Welfare in order for members willing to join to have a clue of the situation, our mandate, and the path we're heading to 💖💖💖Everyone
