Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso – Several days of celebration included sports, a blood donation drive, and youth character education with an emphasis on AIDS prevention. Programs were held in four provinces of Burkina Faso: Djubo, Kaya, Nanoro and Ouagadougou.
A seminar on “Youth for Peace and Development” was held in partnership with the National Assembly and attended by a representative of His Majesty le Mogho Naaba Baongo, who serves as UPF’s Honorary Chair, members of the Assembly, religious, community and political leaders, and the president of the National Youth Council.
