Ms.Angelin Prince, Director of THE CANDLES said we started this VARNAM PROJECT couple of months ago, where we turned the aided school wall into a message board depicting the social messages through tribal art. After this we got various opportunities from other schools and did paintings with social sensitization. ICWO approached us with an idea to convert the wall of crematorium into green city wall as part of the Clean Chennai with various optimistic paintings. We are so happy to join hands with ICWO & Greater Chennai Corporation to bring this change. For further details call Ms.S.Esther Shanthi, Care Taker, Otteri Crematorium, on 88078-26236.
