Under the project o Pakistan Our Home, MW organized an event inMarch, 2010 known as Street Art Competition (SAC) which is the rsto its kind in the history o Pakistan. It all started o as an idea to dosomething against the anomalous practice o wall chalking. Every oneo us requently comes across many instances o wall chalking in theorms o various advertisements, election campaigns or else as a ree-dom o expression or writing absurd and hideous comments against thegovernment or its ocials. We see the city walls being deaced by all theseillogical advertisements, comments and annotations which not only spoil

the beauty o our country but also project a wrong image o our nation atthe world level. Tis is because we, particularly the youth, nd a reugein such grati on the walls to let out our rustrations due to the intricatetimes our nation is going through right now. MW took the initiative todo something to remove this illegal practice o aggressive wall chalkingwhich, in act, is prohibited by law according to the Punjab Prohibition oExpressing Matters on Walls Act 1995.Street Art Competition was organized by MW with the similar inten-tion to Review the Walls o Lahore and eradicate the eccentric and illegalpractice o wall chalking. Te basic aim was to remove the remarks thatmarred the beauty o the walls and render the so called talking walls totalk about the beauty, culture, traditions, art and attributes o our country,overall depicting a positive image o Pakistan globally.Te Season I o SAC was organized in Gulberg in which 250 students

rom various institutes o Lahore participated to eliminate the incongru-ous advertisements and to paint the culture, tradition and attributes oour beloved country covering 55 walls o Gulberg area within 2 days. Tejury included eminent personalities like Saleema Hashmi, R.M. Naeem,Ms Aatiqa, and Ms. Niloar who reviewed all the painted walls and thenannounced the winners accordingly. Te rontrunners were then awardedwith cash prizes and certicates at the closing ceremony o SAC Season1. Te participants and the management team were also awarded withcerticates and souvenirs respectively. Te charm o the glorious eventpersisted till the end as it roped in the melodious tunes o the theme songo Message Welare rust sung by Uzair Ashra, an upcoming star wholaunched his career by donating his rst single to Message Welare rust.Aer the success o Season 1, MW is going to continue its tradition byorganizing Season 2 o SAC in the upcoming month.

Heaven is blessed with perect rest but the blessing oearth is toil. ~Henry van DykeTe labourers in Pakistan are usually unaware o theLabour Day and its signicance.

the importance o this day and to revere them.
