children of war soldiers ~

Delhi, August 13, 2007: Marking the celebrations for the 60th Independence Day, Pearl Academy of Fashion (PAF) hosted a half day Creative Skill Development Workshops for the children of soldiers who fought in wars like Kargil etc, supported by a NGO called Sadhna Kunj, on 13th August, 07.  This event was an entirely student driven initiative organized by the cultural body of the Academy – Plan Clan.

The children in the age group of 6-12 years were part of the Painting, Origami and Material Craft workshops organised by students of the Pearl Academy on the theme - ‘Freedom or Independence’. These creations were mounted and auctioned at PAF for internal staff and students. Funds raised through this auction were handed over to the NGO for the welfare of these children. The Academy also treated these children with a special token of appreciation.

Speaking on the occasion, Group Director, Pearl Academy of Fashion, Mr. A. K. G Nair, said “I am very happy to note that our students have spearheaded this initiative to contribute to the society in whatever small way.”
