Student Sports Festival (r)



Who are the students participating in the Students Sports Festival in Haka
when the schools are closed in Burma or Myanmar? Are the students from
foreign countries. Chin students are not allowed even to travel to their
neighboring villages and how can they celebrate the Sports Festival in Haka?
