The Novel Experience for the Children in Mandur (EP)

Prior to 2009 (war period) the children living in Mandur never had the opportunity to enjoy their childhood as children. Fear and uncertainty ruled the day and their life. Even the basic rights; education, recreation, etc.. were beyond their reach due to the war situation prevailed in the area.

My recent visit to Hong Kong helped me to explore more opportunities to build partnerships with various YMCAs in the region. This was my first visit after a period of three years and it was a great opportunity for me to meet my old friends and colleagues in the YMCA family.
