Case Study:
“My Dream Came True”
My name is Naseer Ahmad and I am a 7 years old. I have two brothers and one sister. My father is a poor farmer, and we belong to a very poor family of Basti Sojal which is situated in the Island of Taunsa, During flood 2010 my family and I faced horrible circumstances. Our house, cattle and school were swept away. In flood emergency government of Pakistan and social development organizations helped our people with food, shelter, health and livelihood. During relief activities UNICEF team visited our village and organized meeting with community for shelter school establishment. They ensured us that they will establish shelter school in our area and provide all education supplies. I was very excited as there was no education opportunity in my area. I was glad to hear this because my dream of getting education was going to come true. On next visit Sudhaar (NGO) team along with education department conducted final meeting with our community for shelter school place. Our community donated place for shelter school in January 2011 Sudhaar NGO with the support of UNICEF established shelter school and provided us all education supplies. We all were very excited to receive school bags, notebooks and other related material. In this way I have started my education with keen interest, with the passage of time I have learnt a lot. My parents are happy and they are also committed to send me city for higher study. I am very hopeful for my bright future. I am committed for completion of my education. I will become a teacher and serve my poor community as well. I am very thankful to Sudhaar and UNICEF who give me opportunity to get education and way forward.
