Funkor News: Funkor Child Art Centre is a part of Initiative for Rural & Sustainable Development (IRSD) a registered (Reg:RS/ICT/145,dated Islamabad 1992 Societies ACT), private non- profit , non political voluntary organization. Funkor uses the medium of arts to extend children’s outlook and awareness of the concepts of environment and heritage protection, human rights, equality, tolerance and peace. Funkor is committed to promoting art among children and generating healthy and creative activities for children from a broad spectrum of society. Funkor is made up of an urdu word fun meaning art and kor a pushtu word meaning house, in other words an art house for children. Art is a luxury not many children can afford in Pakistan. Art activities are non-existent in schools for the children from the lower income group. A minority of privileged children going to private schools have art as a subject, but for the majority of children belonging to the under privileged sections of society art is a luxury they cannot afford. Art activity is a very entertaining event for children who have never experienced the joy of painting.
