STAFF REPORT IBD: The Pakistan Science Foundation (PSF) has distributed school bags, containing all the educational material needed at a nursery level child, among deserving students of the federal government schools.
The bags were donated by Master Ximin Li, a Germany-based Chinese child, who along with his parents and his wife Longgang Li, travelled to Pakistan for this noble cause.
Moved by an appeal of a child through a TV channel that he wanted to go to school but have no means to buy school bag and books, eight-year-old Master Li decided to raise funds for Pakistani poor children. He raised funds by playing violin on the streets.
PSF arranged two ceremonies, one at a school in Chak Shahzad and the other at a school in Model Town Humak to give the bags.
In is remarks, Prof. Dr. Manzoor H. Soomro said that the donation by Chinese kid reflects the bond of Pak-China Friendship which is getting strengthened with every passing day not only at government level also at people to people level. He said this initiative will inspire many others anywhere in the world.
Parents of the child also expressed their feelings. They said giving this gift of bags to Pakistani children is a moment of great pleasure and satisfaction for them. “We are proud of our child that how he feels about his Pakistani brothers and sisters,” they said.
