Name schools

Published December 21, 2014

I request the federal and provincial governments to announce the opening of schools throughout Pakistan that are named after the children and school staff who were martyred in the Peshawar school tragedy.

This will be the best and an everlasting way of paying tribute to and remembering each of the souls who died in this national tragedy.

The funding for this project should be raised through donations collected from within the country and a sizable number of Pakistani expatriates who live abroad.
