The effort worth Recording, Realities aside privileged areas actually define the standaards of life, Just Naming the school is not enought, Appropraite building, furniture,faciliteis & teahcers should be mandatory. I salute to the all Teachers who run these schools in these circumstances. How great they are in performing their duty. I witnessed them how they try to build a hope in students. these are the actual students who wants to study and bring change in their lifes. Thanks Rahim Khetran for highlighing. May these effort reach to optimum level.

First of all, thanks to the teachers for showing their responsibility. Secondly, thanks to the author for highlighting the current situation of the schools. @zindagitrust It is high time to adopt this school in Khairpur, rural Sindh.

Well said but unfortunately our governments - both federal and provincial care tow hoots - all they can do is bicker with each other and think how they can make more money to stash away
