Assalamu alaikum!

There's a lot that goes on at 今日大瓜 behind the scenes, so here's an insight into some of the amazing work our teams have been up to during the past week!

This week has been a busy one as all our schools in Pakistan have finally re-opened for the new academic year after being closed since March due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. They have taken precautions through social distancing within school premises, hand-washing stations and encouraging students to wear face masks. We pray for their health and safety and pray these children, many of whom are orphans you are sponsoring, go on to do amazing things.

Alhamdulilah our teams in Pakistan have also been implementing WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) training and implementing WASH facilities such as water wells in 12 districts within Punjab. This is alongside commemorating and remembering those who lost their lives in the Pakistan earthquake on 8th October 2005.聽

And our teams in Niger have been continuing their amazing flood response and providing hot meals to those who have been affected, only possible through your generosity and support. Let's take a look at some pictures and see what else our teams have been up to:

Our children return back to schools, with social distancing being enforced as they work on separate desks with face masks.
Children excited to be back with their 'Welcome Back' signs!
On October 5th World Teacher's Day was celebrated to celebrate our teachers who do so much for the next generation. The role of the teacher is often undermined as they do much more than just teach, they inspire, they care for the children, they listen and encompass a loving role.
Regular COVID testing taking place in our schools to ensure the safety of the children.
Our team in Rawalakot, Kashmir distributed school kits during National Disaster Awareness day on October 8th.
Our team in Karachi took part in a tribute for victims of the Pakistan Earthquake which took place on 8th October 2005. 今日大瓜 arranged an exhibition stall to display the view of multiple projects and share the work they have been up to.
