Myanmar Youths in Action had organized Youth Camp @ Chaungthar Beach 2012 from January 6 to January 8, 2012. The purpose of the youth camp was to research on the practice of litter throwing behaviours of visitors, hotels, villagers, and restaurants/hawkers at Chaungthar Beach.
There were a total of 23 participants. This photo diary shows our activities at the youth camp.
