Students from Grade 5-8 from 12 schools from Kathmandu participated in the art competition this year, and produced 907 art works, expressing what peace means to them, their family and their country.
Director of UNRCPD, Sharon Riggle remarked, “Being able to interact with schoolchildren during our annual art competition is one of the highlights of my job. It warms my heart to see the enthusiasm the children bring to their art and I’m particularly delighted that the children have really embraced the spirit of peace, which will impact their daily lives.”
