Tribal children learn 'theater of the oppressed'

Tribal child conference at Ambaji
Children from Sabarkantha & Banaskantha participated, 
some of them were BT Cotton farm workers
They laughed.....
   Danced .......
 and Played .......

and learnt some basic funda of Oppressed Theater
Girls Shed their inhibitions

and boys enact roles
It is not to easy to break shackles of shyness



They performed a drama on child labor.

Their owner is very atrocious and cruel.
He exploits them and beats them
One day child labor kill the owner
They were arrested, brought before a judge in a court,
but, judge freed them and advised them to study 

The drama was vidieographed, they saw their
 performance on a laptop
They enjoyed it

Now, they believe that they can do this
it was a great learning experience.
