Kashmir is a mountainous area comprising of various districts, located in the northern areas of Pakistan. This area is underdeveloped and in much need of proper health facilities. On the other hand, illiteracy is also prevalent here and if institutions exist, the harsh weather makes it impossible to reach there.
The mountainous region of Kashmir is definitely breath-taking
but the people who live in these areas face a lot of hardships. Life is
actually very tough in these areas. Half of the year it’s extremely cold there.
Most of the villages on mountains have no electricity, no central heating
system; children may develop pneumonia and other illnesses because of the cold
weather.
This year, on day 1 of the visit, the team of HOPE - An NGO in Pakistan, visited the schools located in Dhanibaklan, Hatiyan Bala which in total enrolled about 125 students. Gifts packets consisting of pencil box, warm clothes, toys, Eid clothes, school bags were distributed among the children and hand bags for the teachers there.
Furthermore, the team distributed snacks consisting of biryani and juice boxes among
the children which brought them great joy and happiness.
The chairperson of HOPE, Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - A child
specialist in Karachi, visits these schools every year along with other
members from HOPE office to make sure the schools are functioning the way they
are supposed to. On this visit, the teachers also put their concerns in front
of her, if any, of which are addressed right away.
HOPE- An Educational NGO in
Pakistan,feels
proud while spreading hope and education even on the top of mountains where no
other NGO or government organization is working to help the people in need.
