The Roots School System, DHA Phase-1, on Thursday inaugurated the newly-built IT lab and library at a Rawalpindi government school.
The lab and library has been established at the Government School, Kothan Kalan, Morgah, as part of the voluntary student community services of Liberating the Girl Child Foundation (LGCF) and the Roots Youth Education Society (YES), said a press release issued by the RSS.
The IT lab was built through fundraising held at the Roots National Arts Spectrum in October last year.
The LGCF aims to give every child the best start in life and to open the doors of literacy and education for all, especially children from the rural areas. This idea of serving the girl child was conceived and developed by Neha Omair, then, a seventh grade student.
Rubina Saadat Qaimkhani, Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Human Rights while speaking as chief guest appreciated the LGCF efforts and said that each young girl is a leader of tomorrow who can bridge the class differences that have been created in our society. “We cannot confine education to one class of the society. It must be spread out to others.”
The girls of the school were overjoyed to receive the special gift.
