Gilgit Baltistan traveled to Islamabad for a week and took Islamabad to GilgitBaltistan for decades ahead, through a resolute and unflinching bridge. Hashoo foundation with financial support from GIZ initiated a project “livelihood through Early Childhood Development training”,240 young and fresh graduates were trained, while 80 awareness sessions were conducted that catered to 4,339 community members.

Gilgit Baltistan despite its high literacy rate, lacks modern technology and latest techniques of teaching, therefore, one week’s exposure visit for our newly trained ECD teachers were planned. 8 top performingtrainees from 5 districts (Hunza, Nagar, Astore, Ghizer and Skardu) of GilgitBaltistanvisited 4 renowned schools of Islamabad: Head Start 09 branch, CIERA (Center for Integrated Education and Reading Achievement), SLS (Seek the Light and Spread it) and Bloomfield Hall, where they observed an integrated education systemand teaching techniques that were being practiced by the 1st world. Both secular and religious education was taught simultaneously to kids aged between 2– 5 years.
