As soon
as the Collective received the banners from TdH, we conducted a team meeting to
plan for the Banner Painting event. This was then discussed in the children's
forum conducted thereafter. Children from 8 Balala Sanghas (Groups) showed
interest and finalised a date for the painting event.
Thrity-one
children from 8 sanghas of 8 villages in Ramagiri and C.K. Palli Mandals
gathered in Children Resource Centre at Chennekothapalli by 9 AM of 26th April
2012 for the Banner painting event. The programme coordinator gave them a brief
introduction on the ecological rights of children. He also explained about the
Banner painting for the Rio conference.
Children
with great enthusiasm drew 10 paintings, relating themselves with the ecology.
They then selected 6 out of 10 for painting on the banners. From the afternoon,
they got into 6 sub-groups and painted the selected drawings on banners.
Finally,
they wrote captions for their banners in Telugu, which was then translated by
the coordinator for them to write on the banner in English.
