In November of 2016 the Prime Vice Team had the transformative opportunity to work with The Sid Foundation Organization in New Delhi, India. We conducted a two week project at the Surjit Wasu Memorial School. We taught elementary students about the impact of pollution, lung health, and helped them come up with their own super hero characters through our signature cartooning workshop conducted by Ananya and myself.
Special thanks: The Sid Foundation for providing such a wonderful opportunity that benefitted so many people. For more info on this impactful organization checkout www.thesidfoundation.org.

This past weekend the Prime Vice team conducted a live workshop to teach people in our community how to create comics. The class was capped at 15 people however we had an overflow. We were able to accommodate 21 people. We were happy to have such a great and eager turnout which ranged from teenagers to grown adults. The workshop was open to the public so we also broadcasted the workshop live on Facebook so that people from all around the world could tune in.
The workshop was a success. We appreciate the opportunity to be able to work with wonderful people, build community and spread the joy of creating comics. We look forward to doing more of this type of work in the future.
