Dear Friends,
Greetings from Baal Chaupaal!
It is with great enthusiasm and
pleasure that I write to you on behalf of "Baal Chaupaal" an
upcoming, new, and unique magazine for and by the kids throughout the world.
Baal Chaupaal aspires to be the
global voice of children, and it plans to do so by encouraging "learning
by writing” not only among children, but also among adults. We know that the
art of writing stimulates imagination and consolidates ones’ understanding of
various subjects. In today’s era of technology, children are losing the art of
writing which is scary and a big threat for our future generation. We want to
prevent that through this magazine of ours. Unique in nature, Baal Chaupaal
will have articles written by both privileged and underprivileged kids, not
only from India,
but eventually from across the globe.
As you are probably aware, the
word Baal means ‘child.’ “Chaupaal”, on the other hand can be defined as a
place of secular nature that guarantees freedom of speech and expression to
everybody present there. The hub of community life in villages, chaupaal is
sometimes just a simple, raised platform, shaded by a large tree. In fact,
chaupaal can be any place where people sit and discuss their problems,
celebrate their pleasures, share their pains and sort out their disputes.
We wish to invite and request you
and your family, friends, and colleagues to submit any kid centered articles
(motivational/fiction/non-fiction/poems/drawings/paintings) to Baal@arkindia.org.
Friends, in this endeavor of
ours, we look towards all of you for your love, help, and support.
Thank you very much for your
time!
Regards
The "Baal Chaupaal"
team.
