APR Events
This four-day workshop, which will be held from 28 to 31 January 2010 at the National Scout Training Centre, Mouchak, Gazipur in Bangladesh, is a gathering of national coordinators from the eight pilot countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Sri Lanka) who will put together an action plan for the coming year.
In 2008, Nepal Scouts hosted the evaluation and planning workshop which gathered 32 country coordinators who looked into the progress of their work and shared their assessment on the impact of Scouting on the street children.
Regional Director Abdullah Rasheed and Director Syd Castillo worked with Srinath TV, Unit Manager of the World Scout Bureau central office on education for all and spiritual development and Mr Bishow Shrestha who served as the workshop coordinator.
Ticket to Life is being supported by the major contributors like United States Fund for International Scouting (USFIS), Scout Association of Japan through the World Scout Foundation, Queen Sylvia Fund and the APR Scout Foundation.
