Opening
ceremony of preliminary on-job training for volunteer youths to take part in
the Union Enterprises for Humanitarian Assistance, Resettlement and
Development—UEHRD process was held at the Women’s Development Centre in Than
Lwin Street, Kamayut Township in Yangon yesterday morning. At the ceremony,
Union Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Dr. Win Myat Aye,
Vice-President of UEHRD, and Yangon Region Chief Minister U Phyo Min Thein gave
welcoming addresses.
“The
UEHRD is an all-inclusive project which will be implemented with the strength
of the people. The UEHRD has three main goals — resettlement and development,
freedom from conflicts including provision of humanitarian aid for all people
living in Rakhine State suffering greatly due to the conflicts which took
places in Rakhine State. In implementing the project with the cooperation of
the people, the provision of humanitarian aid will be performed by our youths.
Youths possess great prospects, by which they must take responsibilities for
national peace and stability.
So
the government must take the responsibility of laying down strategic directives
for fulfilling the aspirations of youths with social, political, educational,
cultural and developmental prospects for the future”, the Union Minister said.
“After
the terrorist attacks, humanitarian assistance is being provided in many ways.
For more effectiveness, the UEHRD will continue to be operate. Preliminary
on-the-job training will be opened for volunteer youths to implement the
project. The training opened today is a good chance for youths to take part in
the democratic transitional process, also expressing the unity, love for the
nation and the Union. During the administration of the incumbent government, we
firmly hope that there will be good support for the programmes which will make
efforts in bringing about means and ways to implement youth policy drawn up in
democratic ways. The present project is not being launched for using youths for
politics. The progress of democratic reforms is shown in the youth’s
participation, stance and efficiency. The State Government is responsible for
giving care to all the people residing in the nation, regardless of race,
religion and their traditions. In doing so, we will try our best to give
unbiased,equal support. We firmly hope that youths will make efforts to lift up
their abilities by taking part in the campaign.”
Yangon
Region Chief Minister U Phyo Min Thein said the terrorist incidence in Rakhine
threatened the unity of the country, which will now be repaired
“The
affair of Rakhine nationals reached up to the stage of harming nationalism,
national sovereignty and ownership of the land. Now the Union Government is
bringing about the peace, stability and development of the nation. UEHRD is the
all-inclusive project which will be implemented with the force of thepeople. In
providing humanitarian aid to the conflict-affected people in the region, this
is a chance for youths to show their abilities with firm determination. The
opportunity to take part in the campaign is of great importance and will show
the characteristics of our young people. The government is carrying out a
programme for youths to take part in the campaign in helping people in trouble
from the people living in peace. So, we humbly urge our people to co-operate
with the government.”
The
opening ceremony was attended by Dr. Aung Tun Thet, Chief Coordinator of the
UEHRD, U Kyaw Myaing, Information and Communication Director, representatives
from Rakhine national social societies, representatives from Yangon civil
societies and invited guests. The first training course was attended by 83
