Doll's Village is Changing
Thursday, September 5, 2013
With so much happening, Thatta Ghulamka Dheroka (TGD) is changing in the process. The relative prosperity is visible. The serene environment and ambiance is also very pleasing. Quality of life is much better. Villagers are putting their children, particularly the girls in school. The Woman Art Centre is also playing a part in the well being of the villagers. Fruit and flower trees are given to residents for their court yards and they are encouraged to grow their own kitchen gardens. Best of all, an annual quality of life competition is held in the village when best mud houses and brick houses are selected in different categories. Owners of mud houses have lucrative incentives (thanks to Dr. Norbert Pintsch) and they keep their homes in spanking condition and well maintained all the year. This alone has changed the look of the entire village.

Village Thatta Ghulamka Dheroka – commonly known as Dolls Village – is a center of activities that range from dolls and toys making to research and a place where large number of local and foreign volunteers come and add value.
Thatta Kedona is a project, first of its kind, in rural area where handmade quality toys are crafted using all indigenous materials and traditional designs based on cultural and folklore themes. The workmanship of the dolls and toys has acclaimed international recognition through their participation in numerous international events, exhibitions, fairs and displays.
