Aasra regularly conducts many outreach programmes every year.
As part of its outreach programme, Aasra volunteers visit various orphanages, hospitals, hospices,old age homes, remand homes and other rehab centres.
This time one of our volunteer was invited to visit and volunteer at an orphanage( Operation Rescue) in Mekelle, Ethiopia.
The volunteer also conducted a workshop and presentation on the topic Listening Skills which was highly appreciated by the authorities and students. The workshop was held in M.IT.
