In the event, the superintendent of the Madrasha also presented and said “I believe these kinds of activities are more effective for the community and students and they will be more inspired if they get chance to participate in such programs in the future.”
These kinds of activities can foster creativity, teach about debating, information research, and child welfare, as well as make participants and society aware, and will have a lasting impact on the promotion of child rights for girls and the reduction of violence against children. The participants and the community people thanked SKUS-EDUCO for arranging this kind of motivational and inspirational event.
