A dream to change, to voice peoples’ issue and to walk towards a common goal brought these youngsters together. A group of vibrant energies from different parts of South Asia, pooled in their thoughts to make the change happen. This is not just a blog but a forum to connect the young voices. The common thread that connects them is humanity coloured in the hue of Comics Power.

Catching the stories in fishermen's village...by Nida Shams (Karachi, Pakistan)



World Comics organized a 3 day Comics workshop from 19-21 May 2009 in collaboration with WWF Pakistan at Wetland Centre, Karachi. The workshop was conducted by Nida Shams, representing World Comics in Pakistan.

Participants were from various walks of life like students, teachers and community mobilizers of Kakapeer community schools (Kakapeer is a fishermen village located at Sandspit beach in Karachi). These nineteen participants came up with wonderful stories on their day-to-day life problems like water, electricity, bomb blasts and strikes. Most of the children made comics on their real life stories. Teachers took keen interest in the training and found this tool useful for teaching purposes. Now children are planning to train their friends in summer vacations!
