To mark India's 74th Independence Day, an Indian teacher based in United Arab Emirates (UAE) made a beautiful portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, using 5,000 recycled buttons, as a tribute to the Father of the Nation. Rashida Adil, head of the department for art and craft at the Sharjah Indian School in Juwaiza, is known for creating meaningful art pieces. Rashida created the artwork all by herself, however, the students of Sharjah Indian school helped their teacher by contributing the buttons in different colours that have been used in the artwork. Rashida gifted the unique artwork to the Consul General of India (CGI) in Dubai, Aman Puri. Rashida also said that a handmade gift has a lot of sentimental value as compared to something purchased from the shop.
