Art contest

These kids are so excited to draw - at first they had no idea how to draw or what to draw. We talked about fish, birds, trees, cars, schools..etc. Many of them drew homes as this is something they don't have. A home and a family. It makes me sad to think about these kids - some are orphaned from the struggle between the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan Government. This is a safe haven for these kids to be sheltered and to get an education in Bangalore. However, the funds from the government has dried up and the school is completely dependent on donations. Some days the children get sent to bed without dinners. All the kids are small for their age. This classroom is age 6-8 and the kids look like they are 4-6!
