Child-Watch Distributes Eid Gifts to the Blind
Girls School in Rawalpindi, Pakistan

Child-Watch is an NGO set up to bring some
joy and dignity to children's lives and to try and remedy some of the
matters that prevent children from living their lives to the full, such
as child slavery, disability and extreme poverty.
The following photos were taken at the Blind Girl's
School in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Our local Child-Watch Executive Committee
members, Dr Manzoor Butt and Mrs Rahila Butt organised this particular
activity and Mrs Rahila Butt is pictured handing out the gifts. Her idea
was to allow the girls to dress up and celebrate Eid like their sighted
counterparts and all gifts included personal items like bangles and perfume
as well as candies.
We would like to thank Dr and Mrs Butt and their son
Faizan, daughters Amna and Faiza, nephew Abdullah and niece Zainab for
wrapping and preparing the gifts.
We would also like to thank Mr. Mumtaz Bhatti for
taking the photos and Mrs. Sana Ullah who is principal of this school
and who kindly facilitated this activity for the girls in her care.
