Our Annual Holiday Care Package Drive and Packaging Party was a huge success! Since 2018, we have been hosting a menstrual hygiene product drive leading up to the holidays to support our friends at Seva Food Bank! Once the donations are collected, we gather our beautiful community, team and volunteers and prepare Laadli Care Packages. This year, we packaged a total of 211 Laadli Care Packages valued at $4220! We are so grateful to everyone who donated and supported our year end initiative! Our team would like to wish you all a lovely Holiday Season 🎄 🎁

Our recent Navigating New Horizons symposium brought together dedicated professionals working with international students to connect, share, and envision brighter futures.
