Youth from abroad get glimpse of local talent
November 26th, 2010 - 12:12 am ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Nov 25 (IANS) As part of an international youth partnership programme, Oxfam International Youth Partnerships (OIYP) organized a community visit for over 300 youth from 100 countries to areas in and around Delhi.
The visitors were taken on a tour to especially highlight the mobile crèches that Oxfam India has created with the assistance of locals. A mobile crèche in Trilokpuri, that caters to children upto three years, was one such instance.
`It is encouraging to see how community members were sensitized to the issue of early child care and development and were advocating the importance of child rights,” said a visiting youth delegate, Weldon from Kenya.
Visitors were also treated to skits and street-plays that highlighted the importance of immunization for children and how it could prevent child fatalities.
Oxfam India is a non-governmental organization (NGO) integrating the 60-year-old India operations of 6 separate International Oxfams working in the country.
