Author Jerry Pinto at a WSD workshop

What do stray dogs and craft or photography have in common? A lot, if the Welfare of Stray Dogs (WSD) is to be believed. Starting this weekend, the 32-year-old organisation is back with their summer workshops to raise awareness on the issue of stray dogs. "What we want to do is create an interest around the issue but combine it with some other skill that can connect with street dogs," says CEO Abodh Aras. So, for instance, there's a Spin a Tale workshop, in which children's author Bijal Vachharajani will narrate interesting stories about street dogs. Or The Fun with Paints session, meanwhile, invites children to draw and paint pictures of furry superheroes on the street, in a fun and creative way; the session is organised by Art for Akanksha.
