The true character of society is revealed in how it treats its children.
Children form 25% of our population today but will be 100% of our population tomorrow. It is imperative that we give them care today for the many tomorrows to come. To afford children the opportunity to truly live to their potential, Child's Health has become the prime focus of Aster Volunteers' efforts.
Because, #LittleLivesMatter
