Awareness campaigns

Puppet shows

We use hand-puppets, ‘Rosie and friends,’ for creating awareness on topical social issues. These puppets are a great medium to convey complex and/or sensitive issues such as child abuse, waste management, etc. Since our inception, our team and volunteers have performed over 200 shows, and conducted workshops for school and college students.
