Painting Children's Ward at Liaquat National Hospital

Summer really allows me to get away from the pressures of my academic life, and engage and try to give back to the society I live in. Hence, I decided to lead a project of painting the Children's Ward at Liaquat National Hospital with FESF (NGO I work with). I went to buy acrylic paints with Roxy and John (volunteers at FESF) and brainstormed a few designs with them that we would paint on the walls which would bring joy to the children there. We decided to do the theme of underwater life, and decided to do it on a Saturday. Hence, early morning Saturday I went with Roxy and John to the Liaquat National Hospital, and we also invited some students from the Szabist College to work with us. We went to choose a fitting wall for our design and I lead the whole group to come up with ideas to work together as a team to get the work done quickly and efficiently. Hence, we divided ourselves according to different sections of the wall, and our abilities. Hence, some people felt more comfortable with painting, and some with drawing. We worked under the scorching heat from 11 am till 2 pm, had lunch at 2 pm and painted from 3 pm till 6 pm. It was a great experience and I cannot express the joy painting brings to me. It was a chance to show off all my skills at art that I had learned from doing O Levels Art at school. Here is a picture of our work and the volunteers:

We invited some children to come see the work, and they were thoroughly delighted. It was a day well spent :)
