Bahdinan trip

The two day trip began 6 o clocks in the morning to Bahdinan area. The task was to plan all our activities and follow up work in the close future there so that the centers can open soon. And this means meaningful activity for youths in the area without specifying more and mentioning all the areas. The radio infrastructure was also included in the work. We visited a couple of cities among them:
