Hunger makes dreams thinner. India has close to 8.1 million children (www.worldbank.org.in) who forgo education to earn their daily meal. “Feed the Hunger” is an initiative by Akshaya Patra in an effort to give children a chance to nourish their dreams. For this reason, we gave an opportunity to the children served by our programme to contour and colour their hopes. The result was vibrant, original and delightful artworks that chronicle their ambitions.
