| On the 84th birth anniversary of former President Abdul Kalam, a nonprofit organisation has hit upon an unique idea to pay tribute to the late 'Missile Man of India' through handwritten postcards.
The Kochi-based LetterFarms, a community art project is inviting people from all walks of life to participate in a project where they pen handwritten postcards expressing their sentiments about the late President.
The campaign 'dearkalamsir' aims to create an anthology of postcards.
"The campaign has been launched today and we aim to reach and get letters from across all the 30 states of the country. This event will finally culminate on the first death anniversary of Dr Kalam on July 27, 2016," Jubie John of LetterFarms, a Kochi-based NGO said.
The campaign aims to call on students, corporate, celebrities to send to pick up a simple postcard and add their unique voice in form of a letter or a drawing or a sketch or a poem.
"Even though we live in a digital age where communication is ruled by technology, yet a handwritten note is still the most impactful way to communicate" Jubie said.
"We are leveraging on people's handwritten power for creating a tribute in a very personal way, making Dr Kalam the only public leader for whom such a people-powered movement was ever created," Jubie said.
