Children's Day

On Wednesday 12 November, Shelter Associates conducted an art workshop in the Sangli office for children from the slums. The children came after school, and were asked to draw pictures of their "dream house" - the results were colorful, creative, and unique. 


Below, see some of the creations.

14 November is Children's Day in India. 

Happy Children's Day from Shelter Associates and Baandhani!
