The photographs and paintings on paper and canvas are done by children aged 10 to 14 and above, they address issues observed and experienced by the children such as water and sanitation concerns, education, food and health, child labour, individual discipline and peer pressure, environmental concerns, family support, child protection and spiritualism. Art is one way to give a child the chance to tell about a world of their choice; about the good things that they like and the things they would like to see change.
