What Youth Group did in Covid 19 Time Period
1. All Youth Group activities have been switched to Zoom. We have arranged interviews of high school seniors and college students, workshops with parents and students, and encouraged students to teach over Zoom . See details at http://www.sfvcca.org/youth-group.html As Zoom meeting IDs may be changed at the last minute, we release the zoom ID in the following social media wechat group and student only Discord group. The Discord link is released to students in each student event. Youth Education WeChat group(北岭青少年教育讨论群, wechat contact: ThaliaLA)

When COVID-19 spread to the US, he added his own allowance to the donation, totaling $160, in the name of the Youth Group to the Tzu Chi foundation to purchase PPE for healthcare workers. We appreciate him very much for his kindness and generosity.
