Peace School for Afghan Refugees and Host Communities
Report – February 2018
Last three months were the most fun months of the students of Peace Schools as right after giving exams the students celebrated Universal Children’s Day and Teacher’s Day, visited Butterfly house and watched an animated movie in a cinema for the first time.
On 20th November 2017, Peace Schools organized a program to create awareness about rights of children and make this day memorable for them. Students of our Peace School for Afghan refugees and host communities celebrated the day by painting their thoughts and ideas about their rights. They gathered in school in coloured dresses and expressed themselves through the medium of arts.
Different events and speeches are organized all over the world as a token of appreciation for their beloved teachers, who prepare their students to be well behaved and productive members of their society and ensure a well-organized atmosphere in schools. A good and concerned teacher is a blessing as he or she plays a vital role in developing life and career of a student. Students of celebrated Teachers Day by appreciating their teachers and sharing their thoughts regarding the hard work their teachers are doing to make their future successful and secure.
Later in December, an educational visit was organized for the students of Peace School for Afghan refugees and host communities to Botanical Garden and Butterfly House, Jallo Park, Lahore. These educational trips that are a part of the school curriculum are valuable as such trips provide the students an opportunity to learn through experiences. During the trip the students had a lot of fun as they played different games in the park and got a chance to interact with nature which they rarely get in their underprivileged area. The trip also engaged their attentive mind and empowered their sense of discovery.
In February, students of Peace Schools for Afghan Refugees & Host Communities enjoyed Allahyar & The Legend of Markhor at Sozo World Cinema. FACES Pakistan with Sozo World Cinema organized a free screening of the animated movie for the students. This unique opportunity allowed the students to watch a movie in cinema for the first time in their lives. Through this movie they learnt about culture of Northern Areas of Pakistan as well as about different species of animals. Most of the students were liked the character of Allahyar but they particularly liked the jokes made by character ‘Hero’ in the movie. The students later enjoyed lunch they had brought from their homes.
