Mumbai, April 26, 2012: ‘Paint Happiness,’ a collaborative initiative by Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics (MAAC) – leader in 3D Animation & VFX training and its students’ community fulfilled its purpose by painting walls at 7 orphanages across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.

MAAC students were at their creative best and painted overwhelming pictures on the walls of the orphanages. The activity was fun-filled and interactive as the kids also participated and contributed their ideas. It did spread happiness around and created a very positive atmosphere, inculcating social values among students to initiate small steps towards their first socially responsible activity at this young age. Other fun activities such as indoor games, screening of cartoon films, learning basic drawing skills and painting were organized for the kids. 

Ms. Bhavika Chouhan, Sr. VP – Marketing said, “We are thrilled that ‘Paint Happiness’ has achieved what it intended to.
