In a spirit of goodwill and community enrichment, Zahira College Batch of 2009 has embarked on a series of initiatives to commemorate its 15th-year anniversary, with a strong focus on social responsibility. Among these endeavors, the recent distribution of books and school stationery to Saraswathi Tamil Vidyalayam in the UVA province stands out as a testament to their commitment to uplifting education in rural areas.
Saraswathi Tamil Vidyalayam, nestled in a rural setting in the UVA province, serves as a beacon of learning for approximately 150 students who face challenges in pursuing their education due to limited resources. Under the theme of “Akurata Piyapath” – Knowledge for the Nation, this initiative reflects the vision of contributing to the nation’s educational landscape, aiming to foster knowledge and empowerment among young minds.
Working in collaboration with Activ8 Asia (Pvt) Ltd, the Zahira College Batch of 2009 rallied together to gift books and stationery valued at close to Rs. 1 million to Saraswathi Tamil Vidyalayam.
Mr. Salim Mumtaz, President of Zahira College Batch of 2009, expressed the significance of this project, stating, “While we have undertaken similar projects in the past, this holds a special place in our hearts as we celebrate our 15th year anniversary. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all contributors who have supported this noble cause.”
Mr. Wazeel Nizar, a member of Zahira College Batch of 2009 and Managing Director of Activ8 Asia (Pvt) Ltd, echoed this sentiment, expressing immense pride in joining forces with Zahira College to uplift education in rural communities. “Education has the power to catalyze positive change, and we are committed to supporting projects that contribute to this cause continuously,” he affirmed.
The impact of Zahira College’s generosity was palpable at Saraswathi Tamil Vidyalayam, where the smiles on the faces of children reflected the hope and opportunity that education brings. The Principal, teachers, and parents were deeply moved by the gesture, recognizing the significance of Zahira College’s choice in selecting their school for support.
As Zahira College Batch of 2009 continues to commemorate its 15-year journey, more events and programs are slated to unfold, further cementing their legacy of excellence and community engagement. With a steadfast commitment to empowering dreams and inspiring learning, they are poised to make a lasting difference in the lives of young learners and communities at large.
