Since ICAC deals with children from a broad spectrum of society, there were children from the elite private schools, children from the public government schools, working children who go to an informal school, and children from the slums, many of whom who don't even go to school. Where did the children come from? --98 children were from two slums in Islamabad --31 children were from various private schools --16 children were from the informal school Chand School for working children The rules and guidelines guidelines, n.pl a set of standards, criteria, or specifications to be used or followed in the performance of certain tasks. as well as the questions to be asked of the children were downloaded from ICAF's website. The questions were all translated into Urdu (the national language of Pakistan). Since there were many children from the slums and Chand school, they were first given a drawing test on a piece of A-4 size paper. The six best artists were then given a big piece of paper and poster paints by ICAC to paint their ideas on how they see themselves in the new millennium. There were lots of images of rainbows, birds and flowers. Unfortunately there were also pictures where a boy drew himself in a beautiful landscape with a monument Anything by which the memory of a person, thing, idea, art, science or event is preserved or perpetuated. A tomb where a dead body has been deposited. In real-property of a missile, or a girl drew herself with balloons and a rainbow and also the image of a missile. Everyday reality is often harsh and many times art is the only way to express these parts of life. All the paintings were put up on the walls of ICAC and judges were invited to judge them. Initially ICAC was going to invite local artists from Islamabad to judge this competition. But for this particular competition three eminent Eminent may refer to:
