HOPE-an NGO in Pakistan works for the betterment of the society by providing high quality education and health care services for the underprivileged and underserved aiming mainly at the women and children in the rural areas who are deprived of the basic necessities of life. HOPE believes in educating children and providing them a pathway in building a brighter future for themselves.

HOPE- an educational NGO in Pakistan, has a number of formal and home schools where increasing number of students gain education under the supervision of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla – a child specialist in Karachi . But alongside education, HOPE also takes their students on fieldtrips which is necessary for the motivation of the students. One such incident is of Chunky Monkey, an amusement park where thirty students of home school Mujahid were taken on a fieldtrip and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Chunky Monkey is the largest amusement park situated in Karachi with a unique idea of attracting the kids and family who are searching for a place that is full of excitement. The rides are very safe and designed in a way that is very secure for the kids. The park is well maintained and very neat & clean. There are a number of different activities and rides such as the pirate ship, the wheels on the bus ride, the anti-plunger behaved more like an open, rotating elevator to nowhere. It ascended and descended at such a slow speed that it ought to be part of the park's geriatric section. And the basement which is made into an arcade.

The whole trip was sponsored by Target Inc. Pakistan, a direct affiliate of a major retailing chain store in the US which enjoys a very exclusive and dedicated clientele. The trip culminated with distribution of lunch boxes consisting of delicious Biryani and each students were awarded with certificates as well.
