Youth workApart from the work done by government and other
organizations, the process done by the community members including community groups and youths are significant.
Especially the work done by the Nepali youth is been significantly identified by community and other organizations.
As mentioned by a volunteer from Denmark it was impressive to see the work done by the youth. "I was impressed by the work done by Nepali youth. They took so much initiative, they started to work on their own for relief work and eventually they formed groups. "Yellow House" is a great example. They coordinated very effectively. The government was so slow and INGOs and NGOs were disappointed but were so much impressed with the youths. I think young people feel an obligation to help each other's" (Field Research, 2015 [SSI]),
