To observe the 11th International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (ILPPW) 2023, Environmental and Social Development Organization (ESDO), in collaboration with Bangladesh Shishu Academy, organized an art competition at the Bangladesh Shishu Academy. Approximately 100 students from three different age groups participated in this event, with the primary goal of raising awareness about the serious health risks associated with lead exposure, particularly for children.

This art competition served as a platform for young talents to express their creativity and knowledge, emphasizing the importance of preventing lead poisoning. Through their artwork, the children and participants conveyed compelling messages advocating for safer environments, lead-free products, and increased public awareness. The event exemplified a collective commitment to safeguard the well-being of future generations and promote a world free from lead contamination.

The event featured the presence of Anjir Liton, the Director General of Bangladesh Shishu Academy, and Pricila Wobil from UNICEF, who joined the ESDO team in offering support and encouragement to the participants.
