On the occasion of International Children's Day, a number of target Community Development Council subgroups formed within the project titled "IDP Community Mobilization and Capacity Development in Mingachevir, Goranboy, and Yevlakh,” which is funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and carried out by "Umid” Support to Social Development Public Union ("Umid” SSD PU), organized a fun event for children with disabilities, in need of care, and deprived of parental care at Mingachevir Children and Family Support Center. At the event, saz, synthesizer, tar, accordion, and folk drum players, who are members of Community Development Councils of "Kür” Mehmanxanası community in Mingachevir, Mal Binəsi and 32-ci məhəllə communities in Yevlakh and "Culture and Art” subgroups, entertained the children with pleasant musical pieces. Children from "Kür” Mehmanxanası community also took part in the celebration, singing patriotic poems and demonstrating national dances. The entrance of the clown, who had been invited by the subgroups, brought the youngsters even more joy.

The main objectives of the "IDP Community Mobilization and Capacity Development in Mingachevir, Goranboy, and Yevlakh” project, which has been implemented since February of this year, are to strengthen the capacity of existing IDP communities to increase their resilience and prepare them to cope with the challenges of the forthcoming return process, inter alia, through Participatory Community Development and Apprenticeship methods.
