School based disaster risk reduction training held at Ramu

Cox’s Bazar is a disaster prone area. In each year the people of Cox’s Bazar face several disasters like flood, cyclone, earthquake etc. So for enhancing the local capacities to mitigate and to cope with the disaster, YPSA planned to develop a school based disaster risk reduction approach through developing volunteers. YPSA arranged a 3 days training workshop on “Disaster Risk Reduction” in South Mithachara High School at Ramu under the project of “YES Center” with the assistance of ESPRIT, in collaboration with YOU Foundation from 14th to 16th February 2017.

A total of 23 students of class nine and ten participated in the training workshop. Based on a curriculum Ms. Farah Amina, Disaster expert of YPSA has facilitated the training. Mr. Mujibur Rahman, Assistant Head Master has inaugurated the training and Ms. Nasim Banu, Focal Person of YES project has shared the objective of the training with the students.
