Board of Trustees, Zindagi Trust in their last
Board meeting had taken a decision to merge one
of the I am Paid to Learn (IMPTL) Schools with
SMB as a pilot project. After working out all
the modalities, a group of 53 boys and girls of
class 1 to 5 have joined SMB Fatima Jinnah School
as of 23 April 2009.
In view of obvious difficulties of a vast difference
of literacy between IMPTL students and the students
of SMB Fatima Jinnah, a comprehensive preparatory
session of three months has been planned which
will continue during the summer vacations and
prepare PTL children to be able to sit with the
main stream children. We consider this an important
milestone in the evolution of Zindagi Trust. The
girls (18) out of the total class of 53 will now
be able to continue their education till Matriculation
with us.
Meeting these children in the new environment
and witness the excitement, jubilation and hope
writ on their faces was an experience that cannot
be described.
