The Meiktila District Information and Public Relations Department organized a public talk titled “Youth and the philanthropic” at Grand Cosmos Hotel in Kyitawgone Ward in Meiktila Town, Mandalay Region, yesterday.

Pyithu Hluttaw representative Dr Maung Thin, Chairman of the district philanthropic network U Maung Maung Shin, Township Writer Association Chairman Maung Mae Tu (project) and Dr Myat Min from the Kanletmyar Philanthropic Organisation discussed matters such as active youth participation in philanthropic works, and attitudes and basic needs required for philanthropic works, besides giving suggestions on participating in charitable works.

Dr Maung Thin and the panelists answered a few questions posed by the attendees. Attendees at the talk were U Aung Kyaw Moe from Meiktila Constituency (1), U Soe Than from Meiktila Constituency (2) and members of the local social and philanthropic organisations. More such public talks will be organised in other townships and districts with the aim of creating an opportunity to discuss matters relevant to the public, increasing the people’s critical thinking capabilities through participation in the discussions, and creating a habit of discussion among the general public on matters concerning their region. —Chan Thar (Meiktila)
