They wish to invite you to unite with the community and join the cause of learning to love one’s self and help others learn to accept who they are and embrace life. There are so many people suffering in the world from debilitating mental conditions and help is on its way! Rain city is finally ready to welcome TWLOHA and the new movement of love and self-respect, Monday, February 11th 2012. 121 million people worldwide, suffer from depression. TWLOHA supports the recovery of all people, targeting teenagers and young adults, who suffer from depression, substance abuse and suicidal tendencies.
