The universe has been very kind to us, due to the synergized effect of pure intentions and sheer dedication, we took off and never went down! In the spirit of giving back to the society, what better way could there be than to empower the underprivileged with the arsenal education; which is the greatest equalizer.
We conduct classes for students who otherwise could never see the inside of a classroom. Every child taking these classes has a story. A story struggle and sacrifice. We hope to be that turning point, that sliver of light in their story from where their fortunes changed, with the gift of education.
Our first student, Abdur Rehman, had to drop out of school to provide for his younger siblings so that they could continue to study. He had almost given up his hope of studying because his work schedule, ironically, of selling confectionery to school students during recess and home time, meant he could not attend school himself. He now comes to Synergy for lessons in the afternoon right after work to pick up where he left off.
Furthermore, we encourage and engage our O & A
level students to lead these classes so that they can gain exposure to the much
needed community service required to become a sensitive global citizen, and
also acquire a unique experience to write about in their college applications.
Mr. Mubasher (Chief Nutrition Officer) throws in a snack or two after class for
these students as well.
It’s a win-win for everyone.
And whenever we can, we try to interact with these children to give them some exposure through seminars and other activities which otherwise they could never attend.
