And that was the sole objective of the mural painting activity organised by Novartis in partnership with Art for Akanksha for the children of St. Borges Home \u2013 a hospice that offers shelter to many a child and adult who come to Mumbai\u00a0for\u00a0cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The plain white walls of the St Borges hall\/ cafeteria slowly metamorphosed into an expression of joyous abandon as the Novartis employees teamed up with St. Borges children and were guided by the Akanksha design class alumni. They all dabbled with colours and created some of their own. They painted with their fingers and gave the art on the wall a voice so unique!<\/p>\n<p>The fabulous outcome doesn&#8217;t\u00a0just reflect off the walls today, but will stay on as colourful\u00a0memories with all those who participated at St. Borges Home.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4572 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/?attachment_id=4580'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-2-555x555.jpg 555w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-2-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-2-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/?attachment_id=4582'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-4-555x555.jpg 555w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-4-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-4-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-4-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/?attachment_id=4579'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-1-555x555.jpg 555w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-1-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/devp.artforakanksha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/St-Borges-Memorial-Mural-1-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Art for Akanksha murals are a great way to have a space transformed while painting with a group of little artists from Akanksha.
