The ‘ART MELA’ was sponsored by ‘IIPM Club Activities’ and held at the Bhudarpura Learning Centre on from 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm on 27th May 2008. The theme given to the children was “Your Family” or “Your School”. A total of 22 children participated from the community. These children were from the NFE & SE batches, all between 6- 13 years of age. In fact some of these children had never even drawn before or used water colours.
The Art Mela was also unique in one aspect as 20 IIPM students volunteered to be “buddies”
to the children from of the Learning Centre and help them draw and paint and participate in the activities of the day. Each child was paired with an IIPM student and was given a set of water colours, paint brush and a drawing sheet all sponsored by IIPM. The Children and their “Buddy” then introduced themselves to the group before getting down to the fun part. There were prizes for first, second and third place along with a special prize.
Each student was also given a toffee. The response from the children and even the IIPM students was heartening and the event was truly a great success with the children having made new friends.
