Money does buy happiness...
when you spend it on others.
This week we were able to send essentials to one of our Mark Bell Scholarship scholars as she is now living on her own and needed some essentials as she starts her next journey going to university.

We thank our donor who provided the funds to purchase pots and pans for our Ambassadors after watching the cooking lessons during our Collaboratory with Second Harvest and Legacy Foundation Japan.
Thank you Micron for your generous donations of laptops
We cannot do what we do without the help of donors and companies in the community. We want to thank Micron for their generous donation of laptops which we have brought into our inventory.
These laptops are essential for the youth who are leaving high school and continuing their education with the help of having their own laptop which they can connect to their universities and fellow students.
Thank you "CyberLink" for the donation!
On behalf of YouMeWe, we want to extend our sincerest gratitude for your recent donation. Your generosity has allowed us to continue our mission, and make a positive impact on the life of all children that YouMeWe helps.
It's encouraging to see a company like yours taking an active interest in supporting the community. Your donation is not just technical support with the PowerDirector editing software, but also giving to the children your time and effort to teach the lessons as a symbol of your commitment to social responsibility.

How well do we actually know who we’re talking with?
On the web, in video games, and on social media, it’s easy to meet and chat with people from all over the world. This can be great, but it also has some risks. How well do we actually know who we’re talking with? In this video from commonsense.org you’ll hear what teens have to say about meeting and talking to people online. You can also think about what kinds of information you’re sharing and think of ways to keep your online friendships safe and positive.
