Dhyana Sankalpam mural school in Kozhikode district provided an opportunity for its students to sketch their interpretations of river this Sunday.This was an initiative to help Nila Foundation find the best 14 sketches to adorn the chapters of its upcoming book Puzha Malayala, a status on rivers in Kerala.
Harikumar, a resource person at the workshop reminisced his memories of rivers during childhood and how much it was part of his life. Unfortunately, he sadly recollected the fact of how rivers are separated from day to day lives of children these days. Deena Kumar, art teacher at the Karuvanpoil higher secondary school interacted with the students on the importance and bio-diversity of the rivers and urged them to express their concerns about river through sketches.
The Hindu newspaper also carried a short feature on the initiative yesterday. Puzha Malayalam, is set to be published on the 5th of June 2010 at Thunjan Parambu.
