They have organised awareness programs using their art in various schools in and around Trivandrum. \u2028Travancore National School (Thirumala) and YMCA Vikas School played host to the special events organised by the crew. These two schools had them perform for their Autistic kids and spent a day of jollity with them. \u201cKeep Your Soul Fresh Vol1\u201d and \u201cBreathe Your Style In Vol1\u201d are the jams which they have embarked to provide an opportunity for the upcoming dancers in the city.<\/p>\n<p>The Roots community is open to all artists, be it a singer, writer or painter.
