April 10, 2013- U.S. Consul General Nina M. Fite inaugurated new school facilities at Sohail bin Sadiq Model School in Herpoki village, Gujranwala district.\u00a0 These facilities were constructed with a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Ambassador\u2019s Fund program.<\/p>\n
\u201cEducation is central to improving lives and building economic prosperity.\u00a0 I am very glad to have been able to partner with Friends Development Organization to increase the opportunities for the children of Herpoki village to receive a quality education,\u201d said Consul General Fite.\u00a0 With support from the U.S. Ambassador\u2019s Fund program, the Sohail bin Sadiq Model School was able to construct seventeen new classrooms, a science lab, a computer lab, a cafeteria, principal and staff rooms, and other improvements.\u00a0 The grant also provided new furnishings such as ceiling fans and desks.<\/p>\n
Prior to the construction, students at the crowded Sohail bin Sadiq Model School often had to hold classes out in the open, enduring\u00a0 bad weather and distractions.\u00a0 Modern facilities for computer and science classes were not available.\u00a0 Since the school was rehabilitated, students have enthusiastically embraced science and computer studies and overall enrollment has increased from 595 to 707 students.\u00a0 \u201cConvincing my parents to continue my education was a great challenge, as they did not allow me to travel outside our village for higher classes.\u00a0 Now with the extension of our school, I am able to continue my education,\u201d said Faiza Rani, a student at Sohail Bin Sadiq Model School.<\/p>\n
