As with every organization, they have their fair share of challenges steaming mostly from lack of funds and mobility. 

The highlight of the meeting was the sharing of rice and noodles which was donated by their grand patron to the officers encouraging them to keep up the excellent work, the officers were grateful to the Reverend.   

Sadly, the organization lost three of its gallant officers last year to death, however, the widows of the officers were present as the organization handed them a little token in a show of their support. 

On a lighter note, the organization welcomed 28 new members who were commissioned last year. One of them spoke to Anaedoonline on how proud she is to be part of this organization.
