Celebrating Universal Children’s Day with an Arts Exhibition



Disabled children also have a right to enjoy the beauty of the world despite the challenges they face in their day-to-day lives. If they are trained well they gain the ability to improve their skills just like the other children do. The Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) program of Women’s Development Centre is dedicated to offering such  services to disabled children. 

In celebration of Universal Children’s Day, Women’s Development Centre (WDC) held a special arts exhibition in the main hall of the CBR section of our headquarters on the 01st October, 2012. 146 children with different disabilities, from our 9 CBR centers, presented their talents in this arts exhibition under the theme ‘Ape lama lokaya’ (Children’s world).  

The panel of judges from Pentium pastels selected the best three paintings that were exhibited in this event. The prizes and the certificates of the winners as well as the participants were sponsored by ESOFT institution in Kandy. 

The parents as well as the guests of the exhibition were surprised to see the talents of the children. In addition, the children who study at special units in different schools as well as the parents of these children were able to improve their knowledge on different aspects of disability after participating in this exhibition. The talents of all the children who presented their paintings at the Arts Exhibition were highly appreciated by the guests who visited this event.
