Hi all! How's your Friday going?... I would like to share with you some drawings that were done by kids from a tribal village. Yup, thats right. These tribal kids were quite excited doing these drawings, depicting their life in the tribal village. It was amazing to see their enthusiasm and creativity in doing the drawings. A happy bunch, they were, after they showed us their work.
What is the backstory?
In February this year (2017), I volunteered for two weeks in a remote tribal village in the Wayanad region of Kerala with a group of 6 other people. The goal was to help improve the local economy of the tribal village by providing alternate means of income. In two weeks, we built two biogas units for the village.
We also became friends with the tribal kids, and on the closing days of our campaign, we organized a drawing competition for them with the theme centered around their village life. We provided the crayons and the paper. They brought their imagination and creativity.
Here are some of the drawings done by these kids. Their creativity and imagination surely knows no bounds and it inspired us a lot to see them present their work with a smile on their face.
I'll have a separate post on the complete details of the volunteer work (and how freakin' hard work it was) and how it has helped improve the livelihood of the tribal village, as well as providing alternte means of income to the families directly benefitted by the biogas units.
Here is a picture of the village kids. This is probably one of the few selfies that I have taken in this year.
