Gift of Education - meet Aisha!

By Tamrika Khvtisiashvili | Project Leader

Dear supporters of Girls Educaiton International,

We are so grateful for your continues support of our efforts with Girls Ed International. With our ongoing project in Pakistan, we currently support 60 girls by providing safe transportation to and from school so they can pursue their dreams of their education and better life. This can only be possible with the collaboration and hard work by a local NGO Bedari based in Pakistan and of course through your continues support. In an effort to get to know our students better, we try to feature a new student each month by conducting a short interview with them. This month please meet Aisha. 

Thank you again!

With Best Regards,

Tamrika Khvtisiashvili

Answers from Aisha

 

Q: How has your education raised your awareness about issues around the world?

Ans: I am Aisha. I am from Thar Chakk, a small village of Kalar kahar. The only education facility is up to primary level and if girls wish to study any further, we have to travel some 21 km. from our village. So the importance of girls’ education and their interest in global issues are topic never discussed. Education raised curiosity to know more about my country.

 

Q: How has your education assisted you to fight extremism, build intercultural communication and be advocate for positive change?

Ans:  I’ll use my education in self-development and will try to support girls who are keen to pursue education. I am spreading awareness for girls’ education, its importance and how beneficial it is for society on the whole.

 

Q: Can you see yourself as agent of change in the world?

Ans:   Life is beautiful when we are evolving to better person. I am working on me and can see the different ME now.

 

Q: In what way do you want to make world a better place and how will education help make that happen?

Ans: Change comes with knowing. It’s important to improve the quality of communication between parents and young people. So the may talk on stuff and bring some positive solution.
