Asha Karma, the founder of Voluntary Artists' Studio, (VAST), believes that art can be a form of communication that conveys social issues and connects with the younger generation.
The Fourth Rice Bank project was held at Zarbisa chiwog under Kabji gewog in Punakha.
The 16 selected families are given 100 drey (one drey is equal to 1.5 to 2kgs) of rice to be paid back in instalments of 20 drey a year for five years without interest.
Families with payment difficulties will be provided with relief rice and workforce to meet the deadline.
All rice will be collected and sold under the VAST’s community development program.
