Global
Youth Service spanned the weekend from April 21 to April 23, and more
than one thousand of high school age youths from twenty schools in
Chittagong participated in a youth rally coordinated by Relief
International - Schools Online. The schools which were involved
are participating in the Global Connections and Exchange Program.
The big event of the day was a parade through the heart of the city,
with banners related to several GYSD themes: community service,
volunteerism, health and the environment.
   
The parade ended at the Agrabad Kalakakoli School, where students from
neighboring schools filled the audience. Students from each
school spoke about their GYSD projects, and their ongoing projects
related to community service, and were recognized for their
contribution to the good of the city of Chittagong and their
neighborhoods. The day ended with a folk song festival led by
former students of the Kala Kakoli School.
