Educators have long known that arts can contribute to student’s academic success and emotional well-being. Hence, HOPE - an educational NGO in Pakistan, has always given importance to arts related activities for the underprivileged students studying at HOPE Schools, so that they never feel that may are being left behind in any sphere of life.

The Toyota dream car art contest is a global contest organized annually by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), Japan with about 80 countries participating in the competition. Japan and Indus Motor Company (IMC) has been organizing it  in  Pakistan  for  the  past  5 years  as  part  of  the global Toyota initiative. This global contest is intended to create opportunities for children, offering them a platform to develop their interest in cars and expressing their creativity and imagination by drawing the “car of their dreams”.

Each year TMC pays a visit to HOPE Zia colony school where children are briefed upon instructions relating to the art competition and about how Toyota makes dreams come true by making specific dream cars.

This year round, TMC also added in aspects of regularity and punctuality. They promised to reward those children who maintained 100% attendance. 100 students of HOPE school Zia colony received gifts from classes IV to X.
