Meanwhile, 30 other students received honorary certificates at the “International Adolescents Painting Competition Taiwan, 2012”, a biennial event, where primary school students from all over the world from more than 120 countries participated.
The theme of Lamiha Basit’s painting was “The Future of the Sea World”. She clinched the award for elucidating life in the sea with its endless colours. The well executed artwork and concept was elaborated with beautiful colours and was very captivating. Thirty other students from the RIS were also awarded with certificates.
