Hello everyone! I am challenging myself to run a total of 50 KM to help fundraise for empowerment projects that are actively conducted by Small Changes. 

As of 2022, I have been a Finance Officer in Small Changes and an active volunteer in their project which ultimately serves our beneficiaries. 

For this fundraising initiative, I am supporting Project Aspire to Inspire (ATI).

The beneficiaries of Project Aspire to Inspire are the refugee children and youth in Malaysia. The goal of this project is to empower the youth and children through education. Small Changes has curated many learning modules according to the specific needs of the community and is currently collaborating with Save School to conduct biweekly programs and a mini-camp for Somali children for the span of 3 months. 

Refugee children in Malaysia have been denied access to the formal education system and they obtain education through an informal parallel system of 128 community-based learning centres. Small Changes intends to bridge the gap and to further enhance these youth's harmony, capabilities and independence in society through ATI. 

Therefore, all funds raised from this run will be contributed to this effort. 

Join me by lending a hand to support this cause! 

With Gratitude, 

Thanusha Araventhan.
