Current and past projects include fund raising and donation of more than 300 books for 13 school and community libraries across Pittsburgh, preparing meals for the sick and homeless, hosting career forums and mentorship events for kids, volunteering for community projects such as tree and flower planting for community spaces, providing free art and cultural workshops for kids, and promoting Asian American culture and heritage through various festivals.
