Art Teacher Holds Summer Camp for Tribal Children
An art teacher named Priya Shibu organized a special summer art camp for children from the Kadar tribe in Malakkappara.
These kids often work during their summer break, so Priya wanted them to have fun and be creative.
She brought art supplies like paints and paper for them to use.
The children painted pictures of their lives, including their homes, forests, and animals.
The camp was a success, and the kids even painted the walls of a local elder's house.
Priya hopes art helps them express their feelings and stay away from bad habits.
The children named the camp 'Adavi', which means forest in their language.
They will exhibit 30 of their painting in a gallery.
