22/04/2011


Young volunteers at the UNICEF-supported Child Friendly Space near Yushu County No. 1 Primary School help to organize group activities and events for children.


Gajiu, 16 years old: "I come to the Child Friendly Space to help organize football and basketball games for the children."

Jiujiachenglin, 15 years old: "I learned how to sing from my father, so I come to the Child Friendly Space to teach the younger children music. A few months ago, we organized a concert and invited all the parents."


Gengqiubazi, 14 years old: "I come to help organize group activities for the children. I have an 8-year-old sister and a 6-year-old brother, so I know a lot about young children. My siblings will come with me on the weekends sometimes. They like it here too."
