MoU signed between YUVA and JCYCN

An international memorandum of understanding was signed between YUVA Mauritius and Jagrit Child & Youth Concern Nepal (JCYCN), Kathmandu. The memorandum calls for collaboration in child protection, instruction, and international exchange between the two NGOs.

This MoU was signed after several meetings between the president of YUVA, Krishna Athal and the president of JCYCN, Tilottam Paudel in Kathmandu. Talking about the Mauritius-Nepal relations, Paudel said that JCYCN is very motivated by this exchange, and his team looks forward to a long-lasting, strong collaboration with YUVA.

Since 2001, JCYCN has been working to serve the society voluntarily; however, JCYCN is continuously working with modest funds and organising programs in coordination with various other organisations viz.

JCYCN has thirty-three general members, and has five staff who is working on full time basis. To motivate, inspire and retain our volunteers, we provide different opportunities for their career development; like providing them opportunities to participate in different national and international programs, engaging them in social work so that they are able to develop themselves.

JCYCN assists different international students and volunteers who come to Nepal for research, study and work. JCYCN provides cultural learning sessions, history, society and other contents as per their need and interest. JCYCN also provides guidance and facilitate international friends from different intuitions and organisations who are interested in visiting different mesmerising and magnetising places of Nepal according to its organisational rules and regulations.

With its guidance and coordination, many international friends are currently studying in different areas of Nepal and collecting information on different issues. Most of these people have come from Thailand, United Kingdom, Japan, USA, Netherland, Norway, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Belgium and India. In collaboration with these organisations, JCYCN has provided cultural classes, computers sets, generators to various schools of Nepal.
