Self-Expression is the ability to express one's feelings through storytelling, writing, art, music, dance and drama. Using these various art forms, we are able to motivate young children to express their inner feelings.
This workshop was organized by Mrs. Prema Seetharam, Vice-President of the National Association for the Blind, Tamil Nadu State Branch and her team.
