HAA CM's Vision:
To showcase, present, and enhance our creative minds of all members of our community world-wide and especially kids and youth.
Missions:
1. To present the creative minds of all in the form of "Chitra-Katha" online
2. To facilitate a regular interaction between our community members through creativity and arts.
3. To bring awareness of healthy lifestyle choices youth and all can make through "Health & Creativity" as the core theme of HAA CM.
Actions:
1. Publish 3-4 times per year online the "HAA Creative Minds"
2. For kids, parents will select one of the best creative works of the child at that time frame and encourage them to write few lines/a paragraph about the the art work. This would provide a reflection of their thoughts about the work.
For under 18: Please see the example format indicated in "Intro-Format" page for the kids introduction.
For 18 & up: Art works by adults, can use their own version of introduction by including their native places.
3. We have expanded the scope of HAA CM by presenting different types of creative works - eg. Art, Cartoons, Photography, Poem, Short stories, Trip/ internship experiences, Drama, Performing Arts (drama, dance, singing etc.) as Photo/ video -link, Music links etc.
