Why Arts?
Artistic expressions are very significant for such children to identify themselves,
gain confidence and stand on their feet. Art is a therapeutic means for children from such difficult backgrounds to express themselves freely, regain the confidence and self respect as well as to generate interest in education.
THERAPY
Art is a means of therapy for children who have been exposed to violence, anger, exploitation, hatred and who are depressed and emotionally unstable.
LIBERATING
They need to be able to liberate themselves from these social, cultural, physical and emotional traumas through the cultivation of free expression and creativity generated by music, dance, theater, sculpting, painting, photographing, and filmmaking.
EMPOWERING
The Arts are a powerful tool for these children to gain confidence and reestablish themselves as human beings of worth. The arts create a safe place in which these children can dream a dream, recover their childhoods and have hope for the future.
CHANGE THE WORLD
Artists make history and change the world. Artists can stop wars, fight against corruption, and change the way that people think.
