In January 2010 at One! International's Gala in Edmonton, the Mahatma Gandhi Foundation of World Peace in Edmonton sponsored an art contest for the students of the two schools in Mumbai.
The students were asked to paint a picture of what peace meant for them. The attendees at the Gala voted on their favourite painting.
During the May family program in Mumbai, the winners of the contest were presented with their medals and prizes.
The Gold Medal went to Khushboo of Nallasopara School.
The Silver Medal went to Sunil of Khar School,and the Bronze went to Ashok also of Khar.
We were very proud of the work done, and many of the paintings were purchased by people at the Gala.
The Mahatma Gandhi Foundation has also agreed to sponsor further art work by giving a grant to One! for art supplies. We are very grateful for their support.
The May Program in Mumbai and Nallasopara is a time for the students to get their report cards, special recognitions, family gift bags, and usually the students do various performances for family and friends. A special meal is provided for everyone. The children and their families look forward to the evening. The evening is the beginning of summer break.
