Students of the National Institute of Design (NID) will bring cheer to underprivileged children in Ahmedabad this weekend. The students plan to paint the walls of an education centre in Jamalpur on July 14 and 15.
Arzoo, an education and activity centre created to provide knowledge and livelihood base for the underprivileged children, had approached NID for the cause.
Tanishka Kachru, faculty of exhibition design at NID, said, "The students have taken up the cause as they found it to be a nice way to make the kids happy. The walls at Arzoo's Jamalpur centre will be painted with murals to brighten up the place."
Arzoo has support from other non government organisations like Manav Sadhna, Yuva Unstoppable and SRISTI.
The education center has been created with an aim to bridge the gap between communities after the riots in 2002. Arzoo provides basic education to children in the age group of five to fifteen years at a nominal fee of Rs 10. These children are mostly rag pickers, labourers and street hawkers. Students who cannot afford their fee are allowed to pay it in instalments.
Mudita Pasari, a student of exhibition design at NID, said, "The student group is excited to do something for these children. Initially, eight of us had come together for this project but now there are more enthusiastic students from across batches at NID. We will paint the inside walls with murals and also make the entrance of the centre bright and more visible, as it is in a basement."
The group has been conducting meetings for conceptualising the theme around which the murals will be painted.
