A Cry from the Trees
Artwork by Bagavathi – a differently-abled young girl of Arulchandru Special School. with a deep heart for nature
In this moving illustration, Bagavathi captures the harsh reality of deforestation—the silent devastation caused by the felling of trees. Despite her mental challenges, she powerfully communicates a message that many overlook: when we cut trees, we destroy life.
The birds flying away, the stumps that remain, and the lone man with an axe tell a story of loss—not just of trees, but of balance, climate, and a safe future.
Through her art, she reminds us that every tree matters. Every act of destruction impacts the environment and contributes to climate change.
Let us listen to her voice. Let us act with responsibility. Let us protect the Earth—for her, for us, and for generations to come.

The Choice of Life
Rangoli Artwork by Lokesh – a gifted boy with special needs
In this powerful rangoli, Mukesh expresses a simple but profound truth:
On one side, the smiling figure stands under a tree, full of life and hope.
On the other, a lonely figure walks away, burdened by sorrow.

Choose life. Choose happiness.
His innocent heart reminds us that the beauty of life depends on the choices we make each day.

Every flower, every creature, every colour speaks of hope, happiness, and resilience.
With a heart full of dreams, Jeevanandam teaches us to look at life with optimism, to find joy in the simple things, and to believe that beauty blooms from within.
Let his colours brighten our hearts and inspire us to live with the same spirited joy.

Silenced Voices
Rangoli by Deepika – a young, differently-abled girl with a courageous soul
In this striking Rangoli, Deepika expresses what many fear to say out loud—the atrocities and marginalization faced by women, even from those entrusted to protect them. The image of a sorrowful, faceless girl curled in pain, surrounded by symbolic hands and vibrant patterns, speaks volumes of injustice hidden behind colour and authority.
The police cap placed beside the girl is not just a piece of attire—it is a bold symbol of how power can turn blind or cruel, especially to the most vulnerable. The tricolour in the centre reminds us that every woman is a citizen of this nation—worthy of dignity, safety, and voice.
Despite her mental challenges, Deepika’s art speaks with piercing clarity. It reminds us that art can be a cry for justice, and every colour laid on the earth becomes a call for change.
Let us listen.
Let us act.
Let us promise a safer, kinder place for all women.

Reflections of Hope
Drawing by Moorthy – a tender-hearted boy with special needs
In this touching piece, Moorthy invites us into his inner world—a world where dreams meet reality. Sitting in a wheelchair, he gazes into a mirror and sees not his own reflection, but the image of his sister he imagines: free, strong, and full of life.
Through this simple, yet profoundly emotional drawing, Moorthy shares his longing—not just for movement, but for a sense of connection, wholeness, and joy.
His artwork is a silent prayer to be seen, understood, and loved just as deeply as any other child. It is a reminder that every dream, no matter how quietly expressed, deserves to be heard and cherished.
Let us look beyond disabilities and see the beautiful souls and powerful dreams that shine within.

A Heart Full of Feelings
Artwork by Mukesh – a beautiful soul with special needs
In this touching portrait, Mukesh expresses a deep inner world — a face surrounded by a bright pink frame and floating hearts.
Through simple lines and colours, he tells us about his longing for connection, love, and acceptance.
The bold red in the mouth suggests a cry or a voice trying to speak — a heart eager to share its story.
The hearts around him symbolize that no matter the challenges he faces, his world is filled with love and hope.
Mukesh reminds us:
Look beyond appearances — every heart has a voice; every soul has a beauty to share.

Two Faces of Our Planet
Rangoli Art by Dharshini and Kayathiri – mindful two young girls with special needs
In this powerful artwork, Dharshini and Kayathiri present two contrasting worlds:
one side vibrant, alive with blue skies, greenery, and clean energy — a world preserved in its natural glory.
The other side, scarred by pollution, deforestation, and sorrow — a world devastated in the name of development and modernity.
Through their colours and symbols, they remind us:
The future of our planet is in our hands.
We must choose wisely — to protect, to heal, and to cherish.
Their message is clear:
Preserve what is beautiful. Repair what is broken.
