Amna Bibi is 7 years old. Her father works as a hawker. Her family of six migrated from Rawalpindi, three months ago, to Gidpur village, situated in Tarahia union council. Amna’s parent are very happy that their daughters (Amna’s sister is also enrolled in the same school) had the opportunity to attend a DIL sponsored school, as the Government School is quite a distance from their home.

Amna tells us how much she loves attending school

"We come to school regularly (hum nay kabi chutti naheen ki), there are many good things in my school. I like to sit on these colorful chairs and round shaped tables. I like to change my seat everyday with one of a different color. My classroom is very neat and clean, with proper lights and electric fan.

My teacher uses very colorful and attractive things such as pocket board, charts, flash cards, cut outs and big books etc. My teacher teaches us different things by showing pictures. She plays different games and sings poems with us (hum naghmay gatay hain). When I go back to my house, I share all my daily classroom activities with my mother.”
