CDRS Youth is one of the initiatives most dear to all of us at CDRS because we believe that it is the coming generations who will determine the future of the country and world that they live in. That is why we are very proud to tell all of our friends that there are now 16 CDRS Youth chapters serving communities in every region of Pakistan!
You have helped give hope to motivated youth leaders across the country with the desire to do their part. We cannot thank you enough.
Each CDRS Youth chapter is given semi-autonomy to decide how their members want to serve the community. CDRS offers suggestions and advice on how the group should approach certain tasks and promotes their achievements in their local communities and on social media. CDRS also assists with finding donors for certain efforts and CDRS Youth members often volunteer for CDRS disaster response, emergency relief missions and other humanitarian causes.
One program started by a CDRS Youth member is 'Each One Teach One.' The volunteers organize visits to schools in poor areas to conduct workshops and classes taught by university students and a special guest to speak on a unique profession. The workshops cover everything from computer lessons (beginner and expert levels) to how to protect oneself from disease to public speaking and building confidence. You can view a diagram made by one of our CDRS Youth members to explain each part of a computer and its accessories to grade school children and a slideshow video showing members teaching the children in attachments on this message.
CDRS Youth members are also working to install computer labs in any school that cannot afford the cost. The labs are being built with unwanted parts donated to CDRS Youth for this project. Our members collect the old and broken computers, phones, cameras, tablets and other donated electronic devices and restore them to working order before setting them up for academic use at an institution in need.
These are just a couple of the many community service efforts CDRS Youth is undertaking. Members are participating in ongoing projects such as cleaning up trash, promoting pollution awareness, planting trees, installing water tanks and pumps and much more. You can see everything they up to on our website www.cdrspakistan.org and our facebook pages for CDRS and CDRS Youth. We hope you are as excited as we are to see what the volunteers will come up with next!
