The program works with students in low-income schools to develop a culture of tolerance, critical thinking and an understanding of the country’s history and heritage.

CAP  started this program on the 19th of January in our school. The students, of ages 11 and above, are enrolled in this 3 year, comprehensive course of theirs which is held every Thursday for 1 hour in the afternoon. The Citizens Archive of Pakistan is trying to instill the pride we all must have of Pakistan. The activity based teaching approach is surely going to help our students in their learning abilities along with sowing the seed of patriotism in their hearts.

Nestle donates milk to The Garage School students on a regular basis and hence Sadia’s visit was of vital importance to our school.

Clicking away pictures and talking to our students, Sadia was thoroughly impressed by the work being done at TGS. Her visit made all the difference as she personally experienced the bittersweet joy of helping the underprivileged children, for whom milk is only a luxury that they can rarely afford.

Sadia chatted away the morning with our little ones, spoke to one of our students, Irfan, of the Matric program who also works as an office assistant in the morning and she also met Shabana, our school incharge, who’s mother to one of our school students and a teacher, Mariam who was previously a student at TGS.

It makes all the difference when someone comes for a visit as the fist hand experience of education in the face of so many difficulties is overwhelming. Thank you Sadia, for taking out the time to come and appreciate us!!!

 

Interviewing Shabana, our school incharge. Mrs. Mustafa showing the bulleting boards to Sadia. in our main school corridor. The work our students and teachers have done in decorating our school is worth watching. At TGS1, the school in the garage!

It was very unfortunate that Shabina herself could not be present to receive this prestigious award. She was in Dubai, looking after her extremely sick brother who is suffering from Brain Tumor and it was not possible for her to leave him behind and fly back to Karachi.

The award was presented by Mr. Rafiq Rangoonwala, CEO of the Cupola group. Mr. Zain Mustafa was accompanied by his friend Omar, Mrs. Almaas Sadiq, the academic administrator at TGS, Mrs. Asif, academic volunteer at TGS and Sarah Adnan, Shabina’s secretary.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Shabina Mustafa from the staff and students of The Garage School!!!

This year also, as a tradition, ration bags were distributed to 224 TGS families, thus, making sure that no one slept with an empty stomach during the holy month of Ramadan. All this is possible due to the tremendous support of our family and friends who donate their Zakat to us and make it possible for us to spread happiness around.

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
