Every year during the Labor Day weekend, North Carolina Youth Classical Arts for Charity (NCYCAC) organizes a two day music festival in Raleigh, NC. All funds raised are donated towards a cause and to a particular organization selected that year. For 2022, YUWA (yuwa-india.org) was selected as that charity.

As captured in yuwa-india.org – Yuwa, which means “youth” in Hindi, works specifically with girls from impoverished families in rural Jharkhand, India—a place where girls are at risk of child marriage and human trafficking. It is a program that uses team sports and education to build character, confidence, and courage. It is a place where girls who don’t yet know their worth can meet to compete, achieve goals, and create brighter futures. Yuwa prepares girls to break the cycle of poverty—permanently.

At Lets Do Our Part, we had the opportunity to raise funds and contribute towards this noble cause to YUWA.
