COERR have been supporting the child and youth development through provision of education materials for Child Friendly Spaces and Vulnerable Students in Boarding Houses in all Temporary Shelters. Musical activities are also found as beneficial factors as music promotes brain growth, language as well as Maths skills. Music also increased coordination of ears, eyes, small and large muscles at the same time. Playing music leads to relax, relieves stress and tension, promotes creativity, exercises the brain, promote memory, attention and concentration, which should lead to more attention to education.

   In May 2020, COERR Mae Sarieng distributed musical instrument to children and youth in Boarding Houses with aims to encourage them in music engagement that may lead to their interest and attention to further education.
