Volunteers in making of SAVE GIRL CHILD EXHIBITION JUNE 2014 at Gallery g



 She is strong, she is capable, she is a woman!” These words aptly describe the 30-odd photographs - poignant and powerful, exhibiting the various facets of Indian women, particularly the downtrodden.The photographs capture the various moods and lives of women accomplishing different tasks and roles. 
Women working merrily in the fields, a little girl carrying her infant brother, three women representing different generations chatting away on a charpoy, a woman decked up in her traditional jewellery balancing three vessels — are just a few images on display at the Gallery g ( Reva showroom) on Lavelle Road.
Each framed image carries a child’s picture at the bottom in an inset, depicting its name, age, along with a ‘thank you’ note.




The 30 pictures are of inmates of an orphanage run by the Space for Children in Education, Art and Development (SCEAD) Foundation, a Bangalore-based NGO.  “The idea is to highlight that anyone can fund or support these children’s education and adopt them,” said Siju Thomas Daniel, founder of SCEAD.  As a college student, Siju, founded SCEAD in 1998, which worked for the cause of underprivileged children, by spreading the message of “Save the Girl Child,” through theatre, music, dance and other activities, to create awareness among the people, particularly those living in villages on the importance of girl child and education. SCEAD now plans to take the exhibition across Bangalore’s hospitals to spread the message against female foeticide, infanticide and the importance of educating children.




The photographs have been clicked by Sanyukta Gupta who has been associated with SCEAD for the last six years. She was inspired by women in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, etc. 
The idea behind the photographs is to show women are not just mothers, or homemakers, but also capable of carving their own niches in different fields, beyond the four walls of their houses, Siju said.

June/July 2013 Even though only one week has passed since I arrived in Bangalore, I can tell that my experience in SCEAD Foundation is and will be incredible. Everything in SCEAD is about children. Accordingly, all of my activities are focused on children and their progress and prosperity. It is a great pleasure to work with children and young boys and girls and impart my knowledge and skills to them. I teach them Ballet, History, Geography, English and Public Speaking. Their huge interest and happy faces compensate all the culture shocks I have had in India. In the next few weeks, I will also work in orphanages through the Foundation, and I am really looking forward to that experience. I hope that this experience will help me love better, for love is the most important thing in our lives. As Mother Teresa said  - "It is not how much we do, it is how much love we put in that action". Not only am I a teacher to these children, they are also teachers to me. They taugh...
