Kohima, Sep. 12 (EMN): Angami Catholic Youth Association of St. Francis de Sales (ACYA SFS) parish in Kohima town organised a one-day skill development programme for its members at the parish premises on Saturday.

Basket making for girls and basic skills in fixing electrical wiring as well as masonry work for boys were taught during the day.

Members from Zynorique Initiative Society imparted necessary instructions about basic skills on mansory works as well as fixing electric wiring to the male participants, while Rone Veswü and her daughter Vekulu Veswü, a B.Com first semester student, taught the girls on basket weaving.
