2024 is getting over, and 2025 is arriving sooner than we can think. A New Year brings forth new promises, new resolutions, and new beginnings while bidding goodbye to old habits and other negative energy. Speaking of which, the year 2024 has been especially hard for many people across the world with the onset of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, marking new tragedies that most of us were left unprepared to deal with. We are still recuperating from its effects as we repent our losses, both human and material. Livelihoods have changed for both good and bad, and we are struggling to mold ourselves to the new normal of living. Amongst all that, we still have hope in our minds and light in our hearts. With that attitude, we welcome the new year in hopes of bringing some better changes for humanity. Given here below are a few instances of celebrating such activities.
