Greetings to you from Goodwill social work centre,Madurai,India.I am the Executive Director of Goodwill social work centre and a former professor of social work and Human resources management at the Madurai Institute of social sciences,Madurai,Tamilnadu.Please take a few moments to visit my organisation's website at www.goodwillsocialworkcentre.org.
I have read a newsitem 'A click may paint a rosy picture for budding artists' which has appeared in today's 'The Hindu'(29th December 2007),Madurai edition. I am amazed at the wonderful and most creative artwork you have been doing for schoolchildren.I very much appreciate your paintings and drawings and for the invaluable services being offered to children.Your paintings and drawings are so captivating and look so beautiful.All the very best to you.
Our organisation is very much interested in taking up the following project 'Children's Rights through Artwork' for school children in and around Madurai.Please read the following paragraphs:
Children have an inalienable right to be creative. Their innate creativity has to be nurtured. One of the important sources of creativity is art which is a native language to all children. Research indicate that children who are exposed to the arts will have a better chance to grow up more creative,imaginative,expressive,confident,self reliant and critically thinking human beings. It is an undeniable fact that if a child’s creativity is suppressed or not encouraged, it is likely to be lost forever.
Knowing the importance of the need to make female and male children in the villages and urban areas to be creative and to provide opportunities for them to have access to the right to experience the arts and to express themselves freely and creatively, the Goodwill social work centre has taken up ‘Children’s Rights Artwork ‘as a rights based programme through its ‘Children’s Rights Centre’ for rural and urban children in and around Madurai, Tamilnadu, South India .
This is an innovative programme for children in the age group 7-17,which aims at providing ways to learn,debate,raise awareness and foster activism about their rights to survival,protection,development,participation as enshrined in the UN Convention on the rights of the child(1989) through artwork.
The children’s Right Artwork not only aims at building a holistic understanding of Child Rights and exploring areas of concern that affect children and their rights but also combining arts with a study of the UN convention on the rights of children as a way to promote children’s understanding of their legal status in society.
The artwork includes folk dances, folk music and songs, drawing and painting, cartooning, children’s rights mural, floor arts, needlecrafts, lacework, writing contests and competitions, portrait and figure drawing and cartooning on computers etc, which develop art skills, improve self confidence and enhance creative and enjoyment in the arts and to know of their rights to childhood.
With in a span of three years the project will cover 15000 female and male children from 50 schools which are located in and around Madurai and its neighbouring villages. The project promotes the forming of the citizens with active, positive and vital position; develops creative potential of the children and helps them realise themselves as the part of the global community.
The outcomes of the project include 1.Children will be empowered with information on their rights 2.They will acquire skills in arts and learn to combine arts with the study on their rights 3.Children will get inspired to discover their unique talents through a variety of hands-on workshops 3. A virtual gallery of students’ artworks, posters, murals, etc will be posted on our organisation website: www.goodwillsocialworkcentre.org.
I would seek your professional help and support in organising art training for school children of our project.Would you be interesed in partnering with us and extending your helping hand?
