About 50 youth and women benefited from the camp which concluded on May 31. Several activities were organized during the camp, starting with the inauguration of the Society Computer and Tailoring Centre, followed by an orientation programme for participants.
From April 19, the camp provided creative activities and fun as participants, especially those who were waiting for their board results could develop and learn new skills through the Weaving Change-Dream Catcher Workshop”, a month and a half training on basic computer course, cutting and tailoring for beginners, making natural mudda, knitting and baking.
