Patna girl Isha Vaidehi displays her certificate of participation in the International Children Arts Festival 2011 held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, between December 8 and 11, at Kilkari Bhavan on Sunday. Isha, a Class VI student of St Joseph’s Convent High School, was a part of the 33-member team from India at the event. She performed in music and dance events at the festival. Eleven-year-old Isha is the only girl from Bihar to have taken part in the event. At Kuala Lumpur, she got an opportunity to meet Malaysian Prime Minister Mohammad Najib Tun Abdul Razak and his wife Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor. “They gifted me a teddy bear,” said a spirited Isha, who was sent to the festival by Kilkari after she won State Bal Shree award last year. Kilkari is a wing of Bihar education department. Text by Amit Bhelari, picture by Deepak Kumar |
