"Dining Hall" - This is the dining hall at Visamo camp. On the table, there are vegetables, rice and `daal' (pulses). The kids are having their lunch. The person in blue is a volunteer helping out. There is a dustbin for trash. There is a chain on the tent so small kids do not go away. "Relief Work" - This is the painting showing the goods, packages, food packets, relief items, being taken from Ahmedabad to Bhuj (epicenter of earthquake). There is the truck full of packages. The man is the loader and he is loading the goods from the blue sack. There are also oil cans -marked as Castrol- which are to be loaded next. In Gujarati, the artist has written "Goods being carried from Visamo to Bhuj". "Visamo camp in Ahmedabad" - This is the Visamo camp. There is the road and entrance. On one side of the entrance, there is the parking lot. A car is parked there. On the other side there is the registration centre. In the open ground the kids are playing. Behind it, there are three tents. A-1 and A-2 are our tents. In A-1 I have put my luggage. The other tent with blue roof is the Clinic from where we get the medicines. Outside it, there is the dust-bin (yellow) and a basket of water-pouches containing mineral water for us (green). The artist has written in Gujarati, "I love staying here and I love drawing pictures here too".
