Physical Awareness Session October 2021

Building on the success of our initial effort, we conducted another round of awareness activities the following month. This time, we incorporated interactive workshops and panel discussions featuring social workers and individuals who have experienced poverty firsthand. These sessions allowed students to ask questions, engage in meaningful dialogue, and develop a more nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by those living in poverty. By continuing these initiatives, we are committed to fostering a compassionate and informed school community that is actively engaged in addressing social issues.

What we aimed to achieve

Outcomes

• There was a noticeable increase in the students' and faculty's awareness of poverty-related issues in Pakistan. Many students expressed a newfound understanding of the complexities of poverty and its impact on individuals and communities.

• The personal stories and interactive sessions fostered a deeper sense of empathy and compassion among students. They became more sensitive to the struggles faced by those living in poverty and expressed a desire to help.

• Our initiatives spurred a wave of community engagement within the school. Students organized fundraising events, donation drives, and volunteer activities to support local shelters and charitable organizations.
