TWO-YEAR-OLD Tanishi Kumar, an active member of the Vunivau Paras Point Youth Club spent yesterday afternoon giving clothes and food items to the less fortunate in her community.

Families visited by the youths could not help but smile as the outspoken young girl turned her head to say bula with a signature innocent smile.

The club which is made up of youths in the area are making a change in the lives of the sick, the poor and single parent families in the Vunivau area.

Paras Point Youth Club co-ordinator Preetika Nandran said the club was established five months ago and consisted 20 youths from the Paras Point area.

"Our club membership is growing every day as members come in from the community hearing about the small activities that we organise at Paras Point," she said.

"This is an opportunity to involve our youths to know and appreciate the less fortunate people that we have here in Vunivau."
