This edition will always be a special one. My first ever and one made with the hope of making a small difference to the future of a few children. With some help from the lovely folks at a small Indian NGO called Donate an Hour, I interacted with a few children between the age-group of 2 - 13 and asked them what they'd like to be when they grew up. The corresponding dreams and aspiration were then illustrated onto 18 letters.
Apart from taking part in 36 days of Type, this project was an attempt to raise awareness about the importance of education and a small way of saying thank you to those few who work tirelessly with the underprivileged community in India. No matter their socioeconomic standing, every child has the right to dream big.
