KARACHI: The Institute of Business Management (IoBM) on Saturday organised an event titled ‘Jashn-e-Bahraan for Special Children 2017’.
The event was attended by students from Umeed Special Academy (USA), AURA Centre for Cerebral Palsy (CP), Absa Higher Secondary School for the Deaf, THE EFFORT Centre for Special Children, victorious and laurel-winning Pakistan Special Olympics children and of other schools.
Students, teachers and management of the school, along with the management of the institute, exchanged pleasantries amid lots of food, fun and frolic.
A beautiful ambience was created through music, balloons, a magic show, a puppet show and a jumping castle.
Children’s creative arts, songs and skits further enlivened the atmosphere and enlightened the audience.
It was one rejuvenating and practical example of experiential learning at the grassroots level where formal education blends with education beyond textbooks. Feelings of purity, love, peace, harmony, discipline and tolerance were reflected in promising children’s eyes, faces and gestures for our trendsetters to emulate.
IoBM Public Affairs Manager Parvez Jamil said, “What men at the helm of affairs, men of letters and man in the street speak or hear about ‘Unity, Faith and Discipline’ was practiced by our special kids. How tolerance, sympathy and fellow feeling are advocated by many a religious, political and social leader was demonstrated in letter and in spirit by our special kids”.
While it was a dream-come-true festivity for these special children with inspiring examples in positive thinking on the one hand, and food, fun, and frolic on the other, positively unbelievable and commendable are the trainers, teachers and above all, parents of these special kids who rise over and above self as models of human sanctity, sacrifice and service.
“An aura of enchantment and enlightenment; charm, colour and charisma; vim, vigour and vitality and tells us how to make the most of life by shunning pains, agonies and heartbreaks and start living anew with mutual cheers and happiness amid the blessings Allah has bestowed on us”, Parvez Jamil concluded.
