Around one hundred children from liberated Vakarai experienced a carnival atmosphere at the Deyata Kirula exhibition which concluded at the BMICH on Friday. It was for the first time in several years that these children had the opportunity of seeing colourful lights, listening to pleasant music and enjoying a variety of delicious food items. They were also offered gift items when they went around viewing the exhibition stalls. Here a group of young girls from Vakarai take a closer look at a computer at one of the stalls.
