A Day spent Well- The Dolphin Show!

Children are always fascinated about going on field trips. “Field trips are a source of enjoyment and relaxation from the mundane routine” says Ahmed, an energetic and excited student of HOPE  school Zia Colony, Korangi.

This year P&G collaborated with HOPE an NGO in Pakistan by sponsoring a field trip to the most famous show in the town “The Dolphin Show”. It could be seen from the smiling faces of HOPE school students that they thoroughly enjoyed the show and were amazed by the maneuvers carried out by the mammals. Students were able to catch the dolphin jumping high, the beluga singing its heart out and the sea lion giving a stellar performance. Saad Amanullah Khan, CEO Gillette joined HOPE School students in this amazing event. Volunteers from HOPE as well from P&G took part in making this field trip a memorable one. 

About one hundred students attended this fun filled field trip. It was an hour filled with exciting and amazing acts carried out by dolphins and sea lions. The children who attended this field trip were from the underprivileged class who could not avail such opportunities on their own. One of the students when asked about the field trip exclaimed “I saw this on the news channel but I never thought I might be able to see this! “. Volunteers kept the students busy and at the end of the show distributed scrumptious lunch boxes to satiate the tired yet happy students of HOPE schools. 

Dr.Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi Chairperson HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan, lauded the efforts of P&G volunteers and is thankful to P&G for remembering students of HOPE schools while carrying out their CSR activities. She is of the view that such activities are an essential part of a student’s life. She hopes that other organizations will also come forward and spread smiles among HOPE’s students by giving them opportunities which are only available to the privileged class.
