ITA holds summer camps at 21 govt schools of Swabi, Mardan

RECORDER REPORT

PESHAWAR: Idara Taleem-O-Agahi (ITA), a renowned social welfare organization, active in the provision of quality education and rehabilitation of deprived children, organized the summer camps at 21 government schools of Swabi and Mardan.

These children belonged to poor families of labourers, who work in agriculture farms for stressful hours, and were subjected to child labour at times during intense weather conditions in blatant disregard of their basic rights.

The summer camps project was supported by Philip Morris (Pakistan) Limited to promote inclusive and equitable education for underprivileged individuals and communities.

Providing the under-privileged children ample opportunities to get quality education as well as polishing their extracurricular skills, the summer camps helped promote awareness among the children about the importance of education and their basic rights.

Apart from regular academic studies, the children underwent orientation sessions underlining the importance of hygiene, geography, culture and heritage, arts and drama and other productive aspects of life. They were engaged in different sports by taking part in positive physical activities essential for the mental nourishment and physical growth of children, the future of Pakistan.

Before the launch of the summer camps, a six-day training workshop was organised especially for the training faculty to enable the teachers disseminate best initiatives among the deserving children and to guide them in becoming better human beings and citizens of Pakistan.

ITA’s Chief Executive Officer Baela Raza Jamil expressed her gratitude to PMPKL for its generous contribution to the cause of promoting education for deprived children.
