Update: Government Girls Lower Secondary School
One year ago, Nazeer Foundation adopted the Government Girls Lower Secondary School through the Sindh Province Adopt-a-School Program.
In February 2009, the school had an enrollment of 29 girls in grades 6-8. In April 2009, Nazeer Foundation took the necessary steps to add grade 9 at the school as well.
The enrollment as of February 2010 is 72 girls, more than twice the number from one year ago. Nazeer Foundation has also hired three additional teachers for this school.
Plans are underway to add grade 10 by the end of 2010.
Kathore Update: English Classes
Nazeer Foundation arranges for a teacher from Karachi to visit Kathore once a week to teach female students the basics of English grammar and speaking skills.
This session is open for students of all classes, mainly comprised of grades 9 through 12.
The classes have been in progress since 2007. As a result, many girls from the Kathore area have now been able to perform better on their national board exams which require them to read and write in English.
The girls have also learned how to become better communicators. Most importantly, they can gain and have a better understanding of the world around them simply because they are finally grasping and understanding the overwhelming international language of communication, English.
Update: Ambulance Service
Nazeer Foundation began an ambulance service for villages in March 2008. The ambulance transports villagers to Karachi-area hospitals as necessary.
Since the beginning of the service, over 400 villagers have relied on the ambulance service to provide care when the alternative would have been no access to hospitals and care.
Bachu Goth – January 2010
The following pictures are from a site visit to Bachu Goth, Sindh Province, Pakistan. The pictures were taken January 2010.
Siraj Ahmed Goth Montessori School
Nazeer Foundation obtained permission from the local Siraj Ahmed Goth community to take over an abandoned building. The building will be refurnished and renovated to be used as a Montessori school.
Electricity and clean bathrooms are a priority.
Nazeer Foundation plans to begin classes in April 2010 with an expected enrollment of 40 students.
New school: Montessori at Gondal Goth
Nazeer Foundation has opened a new school in Gondal Goth. The school began in December 2009, accommodating about 40 students between the ages of 3 and 6 at the Montessori level.
Children are instilled with a sense of devotion for learning and understanding the basics of academics.
Nazeer Foundation trained two teachers specifically for the job of teaching at this new school.
KKJG School Store/Canteen
Nazeer Foundation has assisted in establishing a canteen at the KKJG School.
Several students from the Boys School volunteer to sell various food items to the rest of the school during the lunch hour.
New uniforms encourage cleanliness at KKJG
Nazeer Foundation distributed school uniforms to about 300 students for classes 6-10 for the KKJG Higher Secondary Government School for Boys.
Before this, students had little concept of clean clothing or hygiene when attending classes. School uniforms have multiple positive results: The students are less likely to focus on their family’s limited resources when picking clothes for school, and students who are clean and hygienic learn better.
They are now required to come in a neat and clean uniform on a daily basis.
