What makes a year truly remarkable? As we approach 2024, let’s reflect on this question.
Each year passes by with a fair share of experiences, which can be seen either as blessings or lessons.
Through all such encounters, what we ultimately seek is to grow as better human beings. However, isn’t all this futile if you are not lending a helping hand to those in need.
