The flying classroom

Thespianz Foundation is a non-governmental organisation working to eliminate illiteracy from the underprivileged areas of Karachi. In March 2011, Thespianz Foundation inaugurated its first free school in Akhter colony, located in Karachi.

Since then, the NGO has been working towards creating an illiteracy-free society, where education is not restricted to a rich few. The main ideology is to reach out to the inaccessible refugee children who are scattered all across the city and educate them with an aim to create a better society.

“The flying classroom” remains one of the most distinctive initiatives of Thespian Foundation which was launched in collaboration with German Culture Center - Goethe Institut-Pakistan, in the latter half of 2011. — Photos by Faizan Mujeeb/ text by Faiza Mirza/Dawn.com
