Chay Ya Upper Austria

CHAY YA UPPER AUSTRIA was founded by four former volunteers of Chay Ya Austria, who made it their mission to effectively support the parent organization. In the meantime, the association is already supported by more than ten voluntary members, who actively help with various events.
