Pakistan celebrated its 70 years of existence and
independence on 14th August, 2017. This is the date that reminds us
of all the sacrifices of individuals who gave up their lives for a separate
identity and homeland for Muslims of India. The day is celebrated with great
enthusiasm and zeal each year and children are always a major part of the
celebrations. Their excitement and patriotism is easily seen on their faces and
by their actions. They are the most excited among all, for this day, as they
are usually seen wearing new white and green clothes and badges on this
occasion and take part in the decoration of their homes and schools with
Pakistani flags and green buntings etc.
Hence,
HOPE – an educational NGO in Pakistan,
always give a chance to those underprivileged children studying at HOPE Formal
and Informal Schools to celebrate this day with great fervor. The children are
encouraged to take part in singing national songs and perform whatever they
like.
This year the function for Independence Day was held in the
schools of Bilal Colony, Bhattaiyabad and Sachal Goth. Goody bags and sweets
were distributed among the children that made them really happy and they really
enjoyed their day.
Apart from that, Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child
specialist in Karachi and the visionary behind HOPE, herself celebrated
the day with her patients at Sindh Government Hospital. She distributed food
boxes and goody bags among the children to make the day memorable for them.
HOPE- an NGO in
Pakistan aims to spread more happiness among children of these
underprivileged areas under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- child
specialist in Karachi and wants to instill the importance of this day
in the children.
