On June 13th we, some members of NRCS Balkot Youth Circle, went to the 5th ward of VDC to show a street drama. The Drama titled "Kucho samao(Let us all catch broom)"having the theme necessity of cleanliness around our home.
We practiced drama for 2 hrs and set on to show it towards our target area at 5:00pm. We first select the correct place and started calling spectators, started showing drama nearly at 6:00 pm and completed it within 25 mins. Then we started collecting impressions of the drama. Most of them told the theme to be good and presentation was also very nice. Almost all liked the program very much and had suggested us to bring other similar type of drama with different themes in that area. We were all happy with the response they showed to us.
