more-in Hundreds of paintings by students of JDT Islam High School were sold on the Kozhikode beach on Sunday evening to raise funds to repair or reconstruct houses damaged in the recent floods. The programme titled ‘Vara Vara Varolsavam’ was organised by the Crayon Art Club of the school. Students were involved in creating, framing and selling the paintings to raise funds for their friends left with flood-ravaged houses. The paintings, related to nature and upholding the message of conservation, were sold for sums ranging from ?100 to ?500. Most paintings reflected the innocence of childhood, while some were on par with those of professional artists. Around 200 members of the art club took part in the event and most paintings were sold off on the spot. Most children had turned up along with parents, who in turn purchased at least one painting, while the onlookers also contributed. Sajid Chola, the school’s art teacher, was the coordinator.
