Comics angle for little angels!

From 8th-10th August 09, students of Angels’ High School, Sualkuchi got a break from their mundane studies and competition through a Grassroots Comics workshop conducted by Hima Rani Baishya of New Ways and supported by Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti. A group of 17 students representing classes 8th, 9th and 10th enthusiastically participated in this new activity that was meant, first, to introduce comics as an alternate media of communication and second, to bring out an overall development and an urge of motivation and creativity amongst the students who are otherwise busy burning their heads in their academic books all the time.

The young minds juggled with their thoughts and experiences to bring out some interesting comics on themes like child marriage, pollution, alcoholism, need for education, reckless driving, addiction and many more. The children expressed their wish to make more comics on other issues and share their learning and knowledge with their friends and family.
