Visiting Japanese Calendar Exhibition

HOPE – an NGO in Pakistan has always been striving for the betterment of society. From education and health to research projects, HOPE is always up to something that can contribute in the wellbeing of society. However, there are many entities that have been helping HOPE with its mission. One of them is Government of Japan which had funded HOPE to establish a Formal School in Karachi and later for the expansion of school.

Creativity is an inner source to express   one’s feelings; it may increase through different experience, knowledge, experiments, acquiring new skills etc. For this purpose HOPE - an educational NGO in Pakistan seeks different ways to make its students more creative and competitive.

Recently 44 students of HOPE school Zia colony were invited to the annual calendar exhibition held at the Japanese Embassy. Students were thrilled and amused by the vibrant iridescent pictured which displayed the true colors of the Japanese culture, nature and animals etc.

The exhibition was then followed by a documentary on the Japanese culture. The students immensely enjoyed their time there and found it extremely informative and exciting. The documentary told the story of how Japan has a fascinating and multifaceted culture; on one hand it is steeped in the deepest of traditions dating back thousands of years; on the other it is a society in a continual state of rapid flux, with continually shifting fads and fashions and technological development that constantly pushes back the boundaries of the possible.

HOPE’s Chairperson Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- a child specialist in Karachi is pleased to be working with the Japanese embassy which never fails in providing a helping hand in the eradication of illiteracy.

The Japanese embassy is providing a platform where children are motivated by the intriguing nature of the Japanese culture and can indulge into different forms of art and craft- a way to express their thoughts and opinions.
