HKI and children

Parvez Babul, Information and Advocacy Officer, Helen Keller International Bangladesh
Helen Keller International (HKI) Bangladesh and Bangladesh Shishu Academy jointly organised a children's painting competition as part of celebrating the 30 years (1978-2008) of HKI in Bangladesh. The art competition held at the Shishu Academy Art Gallery was on the subject: "Field, Food and Family." The purpose of the event was to involve children in unfolding their creativity around some of HKI's core focal points -- food production, nutrition and women's empowerment. Helen Keller International began working in Bangladesh in 1978 with research and evidence-based programmes on nutrition and eye health.
