New Delhi:
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.
