The February edition of YMI World is out now. This month’s issue places compassion firmly at the centre of our movement’s work. With Time of Fast as the Emphasis for the month and Community Service and Green Projects in focus, this issue highlights how personal sacrifice, collective generosity, and thoughtful action come together to create real and lasting impact.
This month’s cover story brings us to the Philippines, where YMI Doctors, supported by the Heal the World fund and Time of Fast contributions, delivered life-changing medical care to a remote mountain community. The mission is a powerful reminder that access to healthcare, dignity, and hope can be transformed through partnership and commitment.
February also marks Time of Fast Emphasis Month, one of YMI’s most significant international programmes. Reflections from international leadership underline both the growing need for TOF-supported projects and the shared responsibility of clubs and members to sustain this vital work. From emergency response and food security to healthcare and long-term community development, TOF continues to translate solidarity into action.
Elsewhere in this issue of YMI World, you’ll find:
- Updates from IHQ following the conclusion of international elections and the transition into the second half of 2025/26
- Reports on Heal the World initiatives responding to crises and humanitarian needs
- Highlights from Community Service and Green Projects across the Areas
- Coverage of leadership development through GOLD 2.0 and youth engagement programmes
- News of new club charters, membership growth, and fellowship gatherings worldwide linking UN observance days with YMI’s mission and values
Together, the stories in this issue show how service, generosity, and cooperation continue to shape YMI’s response to a changing world. One project, one partnership, and one act of care at a time.
Contributions for the next issue of YMI World are due by 15 February 2026.
Let’s keep writing this story, together.
