It's been a month and a half since I started working at Comet Media Foundation. I am working with them specifically for their annual fair which promotes alternative education. The fair is called Bal Vividha and is scheduled to take place in December this year. There will also be a series of workshops in October, strictly for children. So far, I have been involved mostly in planning workshops. We have included workshops on Human Rights and Writing this year. I am also trying to design an interactive corner dealing with art and therapy. It's still in it's formative stages. We have also been getting in touch with schools, NGOs and other organisaions for confirming participation. The fair will also be held at a rural level. However workshops there are related to a greater understanding of subjects within their curriculum, whereas the ones to be held in October and December have a large number of workshops that will cultivate interest in areas other than acdemics.
The last month has been one of endless planning of workshops, for funds, contacting schools etc. I will elaborate on the workshops that I am trying to/have introduced gradually. So far, so good.

bal vividha is a great concept, i am looking forward to it too
all this sounds like very interesting work. there's a lot of potential, with the workshops and the 'art and therapy interactive corner'.
looking forward to it.
