The Vibha Q3/Q4 quarterly review highlights key financials, project initiatives, and volunteer engagement activities. Although direct cash flow remains steady, total financials are slightly below expectations. Upcoming events, such as the Vibha Walk 2003, are planned for multiple cities, and new projects in the U.S. and India have been evaluated for support. Volunteer recruitment shows modest growth, while activities across various regions have sparked community involvement. Key administrative changes aim to streamline operations and enhance efficiency moving into Q4.
