Happy Pakistan Independence Day from all of us at Seeds of Learning!

This is why Seeds of Learning fights so hard to transform lives through education. Help us to provide quality education to children living in underprivileged areas not only in Pakistan but here locally in our Indianapolis community.

MORE HANDS. MORE POWER.

As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, I appeal to you to help us meet our goal of providing quality education to 2,000 children.

There are stories of little girls who wear mehndi (henna) to cover their fingertips bruised from peeling shrimps, of 8-year-old boys who cannot stay awake in class after working 12-hour night shifts at factories, and many others.

Despite these dire circumstances, there’s hope from the teachers and principals – the true heroes of TCF – as they value ‘their’ children’s successes. Education is the ANSWER! It is our best chance at addressing the many pressing problems that face Pakistan.

Please consider making the gift of a lifetime by supporting at least one child today! It takes only $144 to educate a child for a YEAR. #SOL

“I want to be a scientist when I grow up because I want to learn more about the stars in the sky.”

Each morning, before the break of dawn, Zainab wakes up to her mother’s voice, “Wake up and hurry my girl, it’s time to go and pick.”

Zainab, a student at TCF's Keti Bander Campus in Sindh, goes out to the fields every morning before school -- yanking chilies from their plants and dropping them into a cloth tied around her waist. But as morning breaks, she runs back to get dressed for school –an oasis for learning where she is free to learn, play, explore and discover.

Zainab has her eyes set on the stars and is already well on her way to achieving her dreams, but there are countless children just like her, working in homes, fields or factories instead of being at school. Your support can help Zainab and other talented children like her reach their full potential.

Meet Javaria Yousaf, one of TCF’s extraordinary alumni determined to enlighten and empower her community in Minhala by returning to teach at the school she graduated from. Passionate about Mathematics, Javaria brings the magic of numbers to her classroom at TCF’s Shirin Sultan Dossa Campus-3 in Minhala, 20 km away from Lahore. When asked what keeps her so motivated every day, she confides: ‘The change happening around me because of education is so evident. Although it hasn’t been long since I was a student in these same classrooms, girls I teach today are much more confident and participate actively. I watch them grow and develop every day. What more do I want for motivation?’ Our teachers plant the seeds in our education that build our foundation, and without them we wouldn’t be anywhere. We are so thankful to be supporting such a great cause, one that gives the underprivileged children of Pakistan quality teachers like Javaria Yousaf, but more importantly, a quality education. #TeachersAppreciationWeek
