Dear our DDing Dong donors all around the world,

Happy New Year 2025!

Thanks to your steadfast support and generous contributions over the past year, we were able to connect with LGBTIQ youth through counseling, support, and a variety of meaningful programs.

This year marks DDing Dong's 10th anniversary. 

As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing our journey alongside donors like you from around the world, carrying out activities to support LGBTIQ youth.

We’ll stay in touch more often in 2025!
Wishing you all the best for a wonderful year ahead!
