Independence Day is observed annually on 14^th of August, it is a national holiday in Pakistan, commemorating the day when Pakistan achieved independence and was declared a sovereign nation, following the end of the British Raj in 1947.

Every year on 14^th of August, Pakistan gets decked up in all its glory to celebrate its Independence Day with incredible pomp and show. Every Pakistani’s heart throbs with a sentiment of patriotism and unity; and remembering the freedom fighters and great leaders like Quaid-e-Azam who made it possible for the Indian Muslims to live peacefully and independently in a separate motherland, today known as Pakistan.

The day was celebrated with great enthusiasm and passion by the students in every School of HOPE – An Educational NGO in Pakistan.  Which includes HOPE High School Zia Colony (Karachi), HOPE High School (Thatta), HOPE High School (Muzaffarabad), HOPE Schools (AJK and Muzafargarh), also at the Home Schools. 

The Students performed short skits on poetry, storytelling. Furthermore, dance performances, role model acting etc. were also conducted.  The teachers and principals gave motivational speeches.  There was face painting.  The schools were decorated with wonderful flag buntings, streamers and balloons of white/green color. The students were 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.

 HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan, makes it a point to keep the celebration of Pakistan’s Independence day by giving a chance to those underprivileged children studying at HOPE Formal and Informal Schools to celebrate this day with great enthusiasm. The children are encouraged to take part in singing national songs and perform whatever their hearts content.
