The Garage School

Shandana Minhas in CHOWK:

A maidservant’s daughter in Shabina Mustafa’s building was refused admission in a sewing class because she could not read or write. In the intro to the project her rejection spawned, Shabina writes, “if I could teach her some basic numeric and literacy skills, she could build on them and learn specialized skills to make something of her life. It was then that I thought, why not teach the children of other servants too. My garage was lying unused and it came in handy for this purpose.”

    Dear Mrs Shabina Mustafa:

    This is remarkable service to mankind that you are doing. Seldom any one thinks of the poor under-previledged children’s education. You are doing a wonderful job. I live in Texas, USA, would like to visit your school during my next visit to Karachi and would like to sponsor some needy kids.

    Best Regards
    Aman
