“The charity bazaar featured pre-loved items, clothing and food donated by QI Group employees, students, and local residents. It served as a platform to strengthen community ties and encourage collaboration,” it said.

Head of RYTHM Foundation Santhi Periasamy said the events had a profound impact on both students and community members, achieving more than their immediate objectives.
