The Next Gen

“One generation plants a tree; the next generation enjoys its shade.” – Chinese proverb

How well the generations after ours will do depends on us. Let us put aside our generational differences and be part of the village that raises happy and healthy, confident and capable children and youths, who will grow to become adults shaping our world someday.

After all, we used to be just like them – Children and teenagers needing the right people in our lives to understand, support, and guide us so we can reach our full potential. If you benefited from having such people in your life, pass it on by being that person for someone else.

The Next Generation campaign raises funds for Lakeside’s children and youth causes from 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024. We hope to bring together all generations to care for our youngest and inspire healing and mutual empathy between generations.
