This Christmas eve saw a unique celebration – one that had youth coming together to commit themselves towards social development. Thousands of youth gathered for an evening of music and meditation, and lit candles of peace: Art of Living’s youth organization, World Alliance for Youth Empowerment, (WAYE), was launched amidst this festivity. WAYE set up Seven Avenues for Action for Seven Focus Areas such as substance abuse, poverty and unemployment, depression and suicide, HIV-AIDS and the environment.
