DROPS developed a 6-Month Art program that began in November 2015 for children and junior youths living in care facilities to enhance their critical thinking skills through various types of art exercises. The program is called, ‘Critical Thinking Through Art,’ and the first implementation of this program took place at Shamsa Children Village based in Kabul, Afghanistan. Shamsa houses 120 male and female children from ages 3-15 who reside and are cared for by the staff at Shamsa.
