Sidra, a seven-year-old student, is an orphan girl living in Village Abdul Karim Khaskheli. She shared that my uncle dropped me here in the school because I don’t have a mother or father anymore. I have one brother and one sister and both are elder than me, they use to live with uncle at their home. Before this school as there is no other school near to our Village, I used to clean clothes and home than bring water and wood for fire to cook. I never thought that such day will come in my life and I will be in school. And its true as well that my uncle always wished that I could join school and get education. My uncle is a very caring person and he thinks about our future as well as about own his children but his both children are below four years.
Undeniably, neither I could join school nor my uncle wish could be full filled if the ARTS Foundation under GlobalGiving not opened a school in a very remote and rural village like Abdul Karim Khaskheli. The orphan girls are most deprived and vulnerable in rural areas particularly because rural areas are lacking basic amenities like roads, hospital, schools and means of earning and employment.
Thanks to ARTS Foundation, GlobalGiving and Philanthropists that your generous support and philanthropy is making my education possible even in a very remote and rural area village like Abdul Karim Khaskheli. At the moment, I am in class three as well as my class representative too.
