PAINT PONDICHERRY - "SOCIETY FOR AESTHETICAL RENOVATION BY ART IN PONDICHERRY" - An embellishment drive at schools. Paint Pondicherry is an Government Registered Non Profit Organization that focuses on providing rich environment/ infrastructure for the children studying in the Underprivileged Government Schools. The aim is to raise the standards of Underprivileged schools and to provide equal access of quality education for all the children from different types of background. This initiative is all about using art as an effective medium for raising awareness among Children because art is the best medium for social change. The aim is to beautify, brighten and spruce up the marred walls of under-developed schools by painting them artistically and write messages based on environmental and social themes. In the process of revamping these walls, Paint Pondicherry makes art accessible to the students and create awareness about important social issues. Paint Pondicherry team feels that the aesthetical quality of the school is also important for learning outcomes. The freshly painted and aesthetically pleasing walls is associated with increased levels of student engagement and, therefore, increased levels of learning. Paint Pondicherry passionately believes in this school of thought. Paint Pondicherry has empowered and uplifted hundreds of children through an activity called SPARK. The objective is to create awareness of various Educational opportunities that are attainable for the under privileged school children. SPARK is an interactive session with the children where various opportunities in education (e.g. Medicine, Engineering, Architecture, Marine studies, Bio Technology, Fashion Technology, Textile Engineering etc.) are presented to the children by the passed outs or the people who are currently working in the respective fields. The aim is to help the children pursue the right dream and show them the ways to achieve it.
