The Garage School was lucky to have him work as a volunteer during these months at the school.

He not only taught English to the grade V students but being a musician, he chose one student to do the background vocals for one of his songs that he recorded at a studio in Karachi.

Before he left, he had organized a concert at The Second Floor where his choir included grade V girls of The Garage School. This provided an opportunity for our girls to get a taste of the music industry.

On 10th February, 2012, his last day at the school, the staff and students of grade V gave him a farewell party. Mrs. Shabina Mustafa appreciated his efforts and thanked him. The students, all sad, gave him handmade cards. We’d like to thank Ross Mintzer for all his time that he gave to The Garage School.

Every month The Garage School (TGS) pays Rs 120,000 ($1395) as rent for its existing campus.  Up to 400 students are cramped in a 3600 square feet space. On average 90 students are enrolled annually in TGS, further creating a shortage of space. We need to expand immediately!

The building shown in the picture above offers more space for the increasing number of students, more area for extra curricular activities and above all it is located within the vicinity of the current campus of TGS (Neelum Colony Branch)

The overall cost of the project is Rs. 2 Crores (USD 232,558). Help us finance this project in order to support our Social Mission of “Saving Lives Through Education”

Given below are some more pictures of the bigger campus
