Kids With Autism Have Fun-Filled Baishakhi Celebration

A group of children with autism in the city had a fun-filled Baishakhi celebration on April 12, just two days ahead of the advent of Bangla New Year – 1425.

This bunch of specially abled children of different age groups drew fascinating artworks depicting Bangla Nobobarsha as theme.

Society for the Welfare of Autistic Children (SWAC), a premier organisation with a long track record of providing care to children with special needs, joined hand with news agency United News of Bangladesh, Cosmos Foundation and Gallery Cosmos in arranging the art competition for the children with autism. The event was held on the SWAC premises in the city as part of the Bangla New Year celebrations.

Adil Haque, a SWAC student, has proved that nothing can appear as a barrier to life if there is a strong will-- at least his painting speaks of it.

“The painting of Adil represents the nature, landscape and rural life together. His painting is really an outstanding piece of artwork,” said prominent artist Bishwajit Goswami while giving away prizes among the winners of the painting competition.

Adil won the first prize in the competition participated by 29 SWAC children. Arjit Chakma Prithu won the second prize while Irfanur Rahman got the third prize.

The theme of Prithu’s painting was innovation while Irfanur Rahman colourfully depicted Baishakh in his painting.

Rohingya: Walk A Mile In Their Shoes

My reminiscences of Cox’s Bazar are deeply rooted in my childhood during family vacations taken with my parents and three siblings - horse rides on the beach, sunsets against the widest horizon, charcoal barbecues by nightfall, and copious amounts of seafood throughout our stays. My recent trip to Cox’s Bazar, some 20 odd years later, however, was starkly contrasting in that the circumstance was dire, one which continues to sit steep in my mind.
