When the magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck Dingri county in China's Xizang Autonomous Region, many children were on vacation, moments that were meant to be filled with joy turned into traumatic experiences. In the wake of the disaster, providing support to these young minds has become a central pillar of the region's post-disaster recovery efforts.
Recognizing the profound impact such events can have on children, volunteer groups have stepped forward with innovative approaches to help them cope. By integrating sports and playful activities into their recovery programs, these volunteers aim to restore a sense of normalcy and foster resilience among the affected youth.
CGTN reporter Liu Yang connected with a dedicated team of experts committed to assisting young people in need. This team is on the front lines, ensuring that children not only receive the necessary emotional support but also engage in constructive activities that promote healing and community bonding.
