Nicholas Yu
Kechara Care Friend
In May 2010, Nicholas Yu quit as project manager with one of Malaysia’s top mobile operators to become a full-time Kechara member of staff. He credits the ease of his entrance into full-time Dharma to his supportive wife Josephine and two loving daughters. Whilst Josephine is an active Kechara volunteer who is always keen to lend a hand wherever she can, their older daughter is active in the Manjushri Kids’ Class – this is truly a family of Dharma.
Nicholas has been a member of Kechara since 2008, beginning as a Kechara Soup Kitchen volunteer before becoming one of their Team Leaders. Since then, Nicholas has been elected into the Kechara House 2010-2012 Committee.
