Mayor of Kolkata met TF Painters

Chalo jai rang-r deshe - yes, TF children lived a few colorful hours on 11th April. For them painting is a regular activity but it was a special occasion - they expected Hon. Mayor of Kolkata Shri Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya to see their talent - Mr. Bhattacharya did not disappoint them.

Amader Para (our locality) - students of class V to VII painting their locality - their surroundings. A total of 71 children, in three groups, took part in this painting competition. The smallest ones painted their house, the slightly older ones painted their surroundings and the oldest ones (class VIII to X) painted their environment.

The youngest but most attentive group of children - for some of them managing their sarees was more difficult than painting their houses.

Raju Nandy from the oldest group painting his environment - he got the first prize in his group.
