COERR Pastoral Care supported pastoral services for spiritual purpose and social care of poor elderly, and also traditional ethnic arts and crafts transfer from the older to younger generations. The refugees also formed their Peace Group for paying home visit and helping the elderly and sick in need of food or house cleaning or repair.
