On Monday, the cricketers took time out from their busy schedule amidst the World Cup to mingle with the students of the Vocational Training Centre run by the Parents’ Forum for Differently Able (PFDA).
The Centre trains up children with special needs so that they can be employable.
The students spent time interacting with the young cricketers in what was “a positive experience for both groups”, the ILO, which works with the PFDA vocation centre, said.
The ILO arranged the opportunity with the support of the Training Centre and the Le Meriden Dhaka Hotel.
