The Wichi art school was established in Varanasi, India in 2008 by Ravi Tripathi to provide educational opportunities for children from needy families. The nonprofit school offers classes in basic subjects, arts, music, and dancing to give the children knowledge and skills for a better future. A typical day at the school includes prayers, lessons, meals, playtime, and social activities. It aims to educate and support both children and their parents.

2. In the year 2008, after
lot’s of dreams. Ideas
and thoughts we
established in varanasi
india the Wichi art

The school is for
children from needy
families, who can’t
provide any educational
settings for their
children.

a Tabla player from Varanasi-India
Who wanted to give those children knowledge in
all areas of life, with emphasis on the arts.
To give them the opportunity for a better future.
