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.
