Hi Subscriber First Name,  

Today’s newsletter is one that is near and dear to our team’s heart. We had an opportunity to visit the Syed Pillar Foundation Academy, the school YOU helped us build in Karachi, Pakistan and are excited to share a testament to your unwavering support in our mission to provide quality education to underprivileged children. The school opened officially on November 20th, consisting of eight dedicated staff members and eight eager students in Kindergarten 1.  

The team prepared a beautiful inauguration ceremony on November 29th, including a touching ribbon-cutting ceremony symbolizing the opening of a new chapter for our students, as well as a presentation prepared by the staff and a short song performed by one of the adorable students. The school will focus on fundamental studies such as English, History, Math, Sciences, Urdu and Grammar, while also prioritizing mental health awareness starting from a young age. Our curriculum seeks to instill mindfulness and emotional well-being in each student, laying a foundation for their future success.  

While on-site, we were able to learn more about the structure implemented by our Education Lead, Dr. Farina. The school will have a total of seven grades to begin, including Kindergarten 1, 2, and 3, and grades 1-4. Kindergarten classes will run from 8am to 12pm, while the day extends to around 2pm for the older students. With an emphasis on quality education, class sizes will be no more than 20-25 students per grade, fostering an environment conducive to personalized attention and growth.  

Your generous donations cover not only the school’s rent and utility expenses, but also contribute to providing essential furniture and educational resources for our students. Moreover, we are proud to share that the salaries of our dedicated staff and teachers are covered as well, exceeding the average teacher’s salary offered by the public school system. As we look forward to the school’s expansion, we are grateful for your ongoing support. Together, we are building not just a school, but a haven for learning, growth, and emotional well-being for the children of Karachi.  

We want to thank you again for subscribing to our newsletter and keeping our humble but proud organization in mind. Syed Pillar is a community-based nonprofit for the community, and we want to make sure it stays that way. We would love for you to share our mission with your friends and family by sharing our Facebook or Instagram page, or encourage them to subscribe to our newsletter so we can share the word on the kind of work we do.  

The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.  

Sincerely, 

Aqsa Ahsan, Vice President
