Train to train

What are our values?  As we are the moral human beings of the universe and good citizen of Bangladesh, we should nurture some values. And our vision is that one day these values will  spread to every corner of society. So to train ourselves, a daylong workshop was held on 9th July, 2010 at the Azad Muslim Public Library, Lalbag, Dhaka. The workshop was designed to create real social activists. It was unique in that it was activity-based rather than lecture-based and learning practically through fun.
