Chinni Chinni Asha 2006 - A Painting Competition For Children

Support children not as smart as you. How? By painting, of course. Chinni Chinni Asha 2006 – a painting competition for the children from all schools in the twin cities will be organized by Asha’s Hyderabad Chapter on September 3, 2006 at Sathavahna High School, Kukatpally.

Chinni Chinni Asha 2006 will be a test for the creativity of the children from various schools across different age groups. Asha organized the painting competition last year on 29th August. The event saw around 600 enthusiastic children participate. The kids were at the best of their creativity and proved once again that their little minds have the ability to digest complex issues like environmental harmony, national unity etc.

The proceeds from the event would go towards the welfare of students of Shraddha School, the only school of its kinds for slow learners, in Hyderabad. Slow learners are the children with borderline intelligence. These are not only at risk of educational failure, but also at risk for mental health problems. Shraddha School addresses the academic challenges of slow learners through special educational methods, with its team of motivated teachers, Psychologists and Physiotherapists.

Rules and regulations for the competition are:-

There will be following three categories for the participants:

Sub Juniors 05– 08 years,

Junior 09 – 13 years,

and Senior 13 – 16 years.

Participants must bring their own colors, pencils and drawing board. Drawing sheets will be provided by the volunteers.

The award/prize winning paintings of the kids will be published in Asha Calendar, which will be sold all over world to raise funds and create awareness about Asha and its projects.

Asha was started in 1991 at the University of California, Berkley. Since then, both the cause and the organization have found support from individuals across the US and India. Asha has supported more than 385 different projects in India since its inception and currently has 66 chapters worldwide, with more than a 1000 active volunteers.
