 Youth groups of the kadaas of Marjeoun and Hasbaya have been coordinating several activities with the UNIFIL battalions present in their region during the month of April. Such activities proved to be necessary for better understanding of UNIFIL works in the south by youngsters.
In this instance, joint activities were conducted with the Chinese and Indian Battalions and the youth groups of Ibl el Saki, Kfarchouba, Ein Jarfa, Chebaa and Debin. The youth groups gathered 204 children coming from the mentioned villages and took them to the Indian base.
The children were exposed to music performances of the Indian battalions, military parades and recreational activities for the children prepared by the youth groups. On the other hand, 20 representatives of the youth groups visited the Chinese hospital and attended a presentation on Chinese history followed by a lunch where they shared and learned about Chinese cuisine.
Those multicultural exchanges have set the ground for future collaboration in additional community activities.
