ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Jul, 2022 ) :Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA) would organize a free 'Puppet Show' featuring folk dances, stories and skits for children on Saturday 4 pm at National Art Gallery Islamabad.

The purpose of such shows was to create awareness among community regarding rights and responsibilities of children and parents, help and support poor children and their families by providing equal opportunities for quality education of girls and boys, PNCA spokesman told APP.

He said the show was aimed at highlighting the importance of provision of nutrition, clean water and clean environment for the healthy growth of children.

Likewise, it also aimed at educating children on the danger of drugs, and how parents could protect their children from falling prey to such evil temptations.

The shows were important for creating awareness among children on how they could protect themselves from all types of abuse, and laborious work, he added.

Such public messages, he said, would be presented through the stories of 'Meena Ki Kahani' (Meena's story) and "Roshan Mustaqbil." 'Meena ki Kahani' is a story of a village child girl who despite her desire to acquire education and go to school like her brother was denied so.

Somehow, at a later stage her parents realize importance of education for girls and allow her go to school.

'Roshan Mustqbil' (Bright future) is a story of three orphans (two brothers and a sister) who are street hawkers and housemaid. The story is based on child labour, which is a serious problem in our society.
