ART THERAPY WORKSHOP FOR FIRE FIGHTERS

ART THERAPY WORKSHOP FOR FIRE FIGHTERS.

Fire fighters lead a very highly stressful life always on the call of duty, to douse fires, rescue both humans, and animals, reach to places where others cant reach be it land or water. Rescues in case there are trees fallen, the list is endless and goes much beyond fire fighting.
There is so much risk to there lives.
Sanjukta Arun conducted an Art therapy workshop for Gamdevi Fire fighters in collaboration with Giants Group of Chowpatty, Mumbai.
