Promoting Asian Games Through Art

Promoting Asian Games Through Art

20 children all aged thirteen and below participated in the “On-the-spot” art competition.

“My favourite sport is tennis. I play tennis with my friends during the weekends. Sports keep us healthy and active. It’s really important. I am really happy to participate and draw my favourite sport,” said Yeetsho, a participant.

“I came here to draw my favourite sports and I had a lot of fun. And I love drawing,” said Rayden Jatsho, another participant.

Besides attractive prizes, the winning artwork will be displayed during the 19th Asian Games at Hangzhou in China. It will be held in September.

“So, this event is basically like a marketing campaign by the Olympic Council of Asia to promote the Asian Games coming up in 2023 September. So, basically, they want to use art as a way for kids to show support for their favourite sports or favourite athletes and promote culture through arts and sports,” said Sonam Namgyal from Bhutan Olympic Committee.

Five panellists from the Bhutan Olympic Committee and VAST will select four winners. And it will be announced next week.

The Bhutan Olympic Committee is organizing a marathon titled ‘Fun Run’ next week to also promote the Asian Games.

Borrow money to rescue cats and dogs When talking about the cats and dogs that she is taking care of, Ngoc Hanh (nicknamed Na) always affectionately calls them her “little children.” Most of these cats and dogs wander or are abused and abandoned by their owners and when they reach Na, they are in a very sick or even near-death state. Therefore, she has to spend a large amount of money every month to take care of them and treat them. Photo: phunuvietnam.vn One of the pets that Na has just saved is MiNa, last month the medicine for MiNa was more than USD 83, the total veterinary bill was more than USD 209.

To cover the rest, I go to work to earn money and borrow some more t...
