Bhutan Sharing & Loving
Youths
Bhutan Sharing & Loving Youths,
hereinafter referred to as BSLY, is a youth volunteer group formed in 2014
aimed at, above all, developing the spirit of voluntarism among the youths for
various social causes of importance, for a better and vital society. The group
has hitherto worked alongside different social organizations by providing
support and man power to them during their important programs and events.
Considering voluntarism and social
activities cardinal to a vital and responsive society, BSLY also works toward
developing the sense of responsibility and cause among the youth. Although
there are different NGOs, all working for the cause of society, in Bhutan, one
prime constraint faced by many of them is the inadequate human force during
events and programs. To ease this constraint, BSLY will provide its voluntary
manpower services to the activities of the NGOs, which are for social good.
The members of BSLY are youth who join the
group entirely on voluntary basis.

Background
Bhutan Sharing & Loving Youths is a
group of volunteers volunteering for a good cause. We organize social services
and provide support to needy.
This group was initiated around 2013-2014
winter upon suggestion from some parents to engage their children in productive
activities during the vacation. Formerly, we functioned with no name and our
major initiatives were mostly during school vacations. We later started to meet
during weekends and government holidays too.
In 2016, while joining a mass cleaning
campaign to clean the drain along the Norling-Druk Shopping Complex area
(Dondrup Lam-Norzin Lam 2) in Thimphu, we were asked for the name of our group
to be written on the campaign banner. Upon much discussion and debates among
our active members, we came up with the name “Bhutan Sharing & Loving
Youths” or in short “BSLY”.
