Choco is scheduled to launch Hithevare – a 1 day workshop on understating the social responsibility of youth in community development – on 20th August 2009 in G.Dh. Thinadhoo. The participants will come from government offices in Thinadhoo and general public aged between 16 and 24. There is an overwhelming support for the program from the public.
Hithevare’ Thinadhoo program is expected to be a pilot program of the series of such programs throughout the Maldives. Choco acknowledges the importance of building volunteers and motivation to participate in community activities and hence Hithevare’ program was devised. This program is already endorsed by the Maldives Volunteers Corp. The future plan is to make a program package to train and motivate volunteers, so that other NGOs can also use it to run in various parts of the country.
The workshop will cover aspects ranging from history of social spirit in the locality, leadership and team building skills, volunteerism and a brief ideas about project planning.
