COVID-19 Update

With the suspension of events due to the COVID-19 pandemic,  we are conducting online workshops with children and young adults in various communities.

Our workshops aim to empower children and spark innovative ideas.

Participants use locally available materials to create their kites. Scrap or otherwise discarded materials are also encouraged to build awareness of re-purposing.

Our workshops foster environmental awareness, appreciation and preservation.

They build confidence and teach children and the youth about the basics of positive peace.

Please get in touch if you would like to host one in your community!
