PAINTING WORKSHOP WITH A DIFFERENCE AT ASHADAAN ON JUNE 4, 2017
adminDebabrata Auro Foundation conducted a painting workshop for the differently abled children at Ashadaan on June 4, 2017.
Art uplifts the state of mind and helps to heal at the deepest levels. In the three hours that we spent painting with these kids we could feel their enthusiasm and vivacity. It was heartening to see that though life has not given these children much to choose from, they have made the choice to be happy.
This workshop was special. Abandoned by their families, most of these children suffer from various degrees of disabilities like muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, mental retardation etc. Although most of these children have difficulty in keeping their hands steady, they enjoyed the three hours of painting. It was amazing to see the enthusiasm and competitiveness that they exhibited. They may be physically challenged but their spirits are soaring.
At DAF we do not believe in charity, we believe in “empowerment”. These paintings have been put up for sale in the DAF Online Art Gallery. If you wish to support these kids and want to purchase any of these beautiful pieces of art please visit- http://mohitj9.sg-host.com/art-
Funds generated from the sale of these paintings will be used to provide text books and rain shoes for these children
We thank our partners – Hobby Ideas and Mr. Mandeep Singh Kandra for donating colours and canvas for this Art Workshop. Special thanks to artist Kishori Kadam for her time and Dr Sargam Dev Soni, Sangeen Kakkad and Somita Pal for supporting our cause.
