Over the weekend, we celebrated an incredible milestone: Bamrec turned four years old! With this large achievement, we want to express our gratitude to every parent, child, and mentor who has joined us and supported our mission of creating healthy environments. 

Just as children experience developmental milestones as they grow, our team has also reached new advancements with each year that passes. Since 2017, we have promoted confidence, character, and creativity within the youth of our community, and Inshallah we cannot wait to break more milestones with time! But first we want to look back, to reflect upon how far we’ve come. From four years ago to today, here are Bamrec’s most significant developmental milestones!
