Fazal Rahim Awan | 8 years ago | Reply I really appreciate the efforts of USAID for the uplifting of educational and cultural standards of least developed and deprived people of Pakistan who are suffering with hardships through the hands of corrupt politicians. I would sincerelly suggest to USAID management to please keep strict vigilence and transparency on financial matters to make corrupt staff away from your missionary task of serving the humanity to make the PAK-US tie strengthend under the embrella of friendship.

Observer | 8 years ago | Reply @Last Man Alive: You seem to be having racism for Sindhi people by saying 'Sindhi rulers' instead of just 'rulers'. Learn to behave like a civilized man!

Abdul Kadir | 8 years ago | Reply U.S. Should be ashamed of its cunning ways because they provide peanuts to build schools in Pakistan, which results in the schools not running properly. They pretend they care just to keep their image, but if they really cared, they would provide better infrastructure and salary or better teachers.

Pakistani | 8 years ago | Reply Excellent work by US.

pakistani | 8 years ago | Reply Thank you US Aid

Parvez | 8 years ago | Reply Don't build schools because they will turn into cattle sheds because of no teachers.......build and run just two teacher training institutes, so that we have teachers to teach in the schools already there.....and force this corrupt government to repair and refurbish the schools already on the ground.

Last Man Alive | 8 years ago | Reply OK you will build them BUT who will run them ? The same corrupt Sindhi rulers who just know how to loot and loot further ?
