The team at Morgan Stanley wanted to do something special and different for their volunteering day. There were many objectives to achieve \u2013 team building, having fun along with being able to make a difference in someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

They decided to brighten up the walls of a hospital with the help of the Art for Akanksha team.<\/p>\n

We took the theme of \u2018things that make me happy and things that I\u2019m grateful for\u2019 and opened it out for brainstorming in both the teams and came up with an interesting list of moments that we all feel grateful for. It ranged from family, friends, sunshine to education and food and music to playing football or feeling your hair in the wind as you cycle!<\/p>\n

We took this list of a mix of serious as well as the whimsical into simple sketches, which were painted on 35 canvases and through a serious of workshops, got over 200 employees from two of the Morgan Stanley offices to paint on them.<\/p>\n

The workshops were simple, fun and for most of the participants really surprising. They surprised themselves and each other with what they could do with colours. And we hope that the art brightens up many hospital walls!<\/p>\n
