Extra Curriculum Activities Print E-mail
Apart from the normal programmes of the centre, there are days of sports, singing, drama, dancing and discussion groups based on a chosen topic geared towards growth. These are quite important as they help the youths grow psychologically and help them settle down especially after the war. Most of the people here lost their relatives in one way or the other and this helps them to communicate much easily in the society. Apart from this, activities are good for the young because it is of paramount importance for their physical, mental and social life.
