Dawood Public School (DPS) organised "DPS Festival of Lights," to generate funds to help the deserving patients visiting Lady Dufferin Hospital. Engro Foundation sponsored the fundraising event while Karachi School of Business and Leadership (KSBL) assisted as social outreach partner of the event. The festival was akin to its international counterparts with shows, fireworks, food stalls, etc.
On the closing day, the school transformed itself for the festival and mesmerised visitors with displays of various lights. Each of the school marked its presence with an extraordinary display including stick-men made of lights and giant flowers made out of LEDs!
The festival had numerous fascinating performances including Tron Dance by Shehzad Danger Crew alongside a thrilling fire performance. DPS students had several stalls that engaged visitors for various delicious snacks and fun games. The activity aimed at teaching children how to interact with people and make transactions in real life.
Acknowledging the efforts of students, teachers and staff of the DPS at the Festival of Lights, Dr Zaryab Sethna said that bringing lights back to Karachiites through a festival and raising funds for Lady Dufferin Hospital show as how children and adults alike can use their imagination in bringing happiness into their world.
The health indicators in Pakistan present a gloomy situation especially when it comes to maternal and infant mortality rates.
