Cheer wishes to witness a society in which mutual-respect, tolerance, empathy, compassion, acceptance and responsibility are not mere words.
There are so many issues around us that need to be dealt with, issues that touch upon life’s basics to ideal values. One person cannot do everything to change the world, but, each of us can do something to make this a better place. We wish to do that something. So, why restrict ourselves to a single cause?
