Once I was called as a guest on a Radio Talk show, where i discussed on SPRIHA's work and asked for community participation. To our surprise, we got responses rolling over from students of prestigious schools to join us to reach the slum kids and organize film festivals for them.
Also I was recognized by Karnatka Government for our work in this field which was mentored by APJ Abdul Kalam. His encouragement and appreciation really helped us move on despite of odds.
Above all, We were delighted to see the smiles, satisfaction when the little one from schools and slums joined hands together exchanging thier views on things like approach of police,sanitation,studies and many more.Thier beautiful expressions through posters, painting, stories.
