The Debaters for Our Society (DOS) program of All Burma Federation of Student Unions-Foreign Affairs Committee (ABFSU-FAC) continued to organize another debate match in BHSOH (Boarding High School for Orphanage and Helpless youths) in Mae Sot today afternoon.

The debate match between the “Three Stars” and the “ Winners ” was very interesting and exciting. About one hundred audiences were there in this match.

The “Winners” beat the “Three Stars” by some more points although both had almost the same debating skill. Six debate teams from this school started the debate tournament in this school a week ago and the topic is “The youth refugees from developing countries should not resettle in third countries”.

These two debate teams were the ones who have beaten other teams in the lower rounds. The debate training has been three months for these debaters and the training days were two days a week.

Ko Min Naing, the In-Charge of All Burma Federation of Student Unions, U Khaing Oo Maung the Managing Director of BHSOH and Ko Thwin Lin Aung, the Program Coordinator of DOS program, gave opening speeches at the beginning of the match. In their speeches explained how debate can affect the society positively by providing the critical thinking, persuasive and social dealing skills.

After the debaters’ competition, the audiences also joined with the debate topic and gave arguments to both side of the topic very enthusiastically.
