It is an honor for me and my
team to celebrate the success of our campaign throughout the city. Our city
stands out as one of the most secure and private locations compared to others
across the country.
WahCantt, is a cantonment city situated in the north-west of Islamabad and
Rawalpindi, boasts the highest literacy rate in Pakistan. It is renowned as one
of the most advanced and developed areas in the nation.
As I prepare for my second-year exams, I find solace in the charitable and
social work we have undertaken. I vividly remember the days and nights spent
with our dedicated group of volunteers, tirelessly working towards helping the
impoverished. The joy, challenges, risks, and love we experienced during this
journey will forever remain etched in our memories.
A few weeks ago, we initiated the "Wall Of Kindness" or "Deewar e Mehrubani"
project in WahCantt. This remarkable charitable endeavor involves attaching
spare clothes hangers outside houses, encouraging the public to donate various
useful items such as clothing and footwear.
The concept of the "Wall Of Kindness" originated in Iran through an anonymous
individual and quickly gained popularity throughout the country. The idea
subsequently spread across social media platforms in China and Pakistan.
AsadLodhi from Peshawar introduced the "Wall Of Kindness" in Peshawar, which led
to its expansion to other cities including Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi, Quetta,
Nowshera, and now WahCantt. A group of students in WahCantt initiated this idea
through social media, and we connected through Facebook. Following a meeting
attended by a large number of students, we formed two groups. One group, backed
by a political party, demanded the involvement of political activities, while we
firmly believed that this endeavor should remain purely social, to avoid
criticism from other political parties in the city. The city's board initially
hesitated to grant us permission due to security concerns associated with this
social initiative. Consequently, we decided to seek sponsorships and public
assistance to acquire a wall for our project.
Every evening, we met and approached various individuals for support, but
unfortunately, we encountered no fruitful outcomes. As days passed, opposition
against our group grew stronger. However, we remained steadfast in our belief in
the Almighty and our mission's ultimate success. Some of our sponsors were
primarily motivated by personal gain.
Fortunately, an old friend contacted us and offered the outside wall of his home
for our project. Overjoyed, we convened a high-level meeting in a hall and
announced the date for the commencement of the "Wall Of Kindness" initiative. On
that day, numerous individuals arrived with generous donations. All our
accomplishments were the result of the prayers from our parents and the
community. Despite the challenging circumstances we encountered, we made rapid
progress.
In conclusion, the journey of establishing the "Wall Of Kindness" in WahCantt
has been a testament to the power of unity, resilience, and compassion. Despite
facing obstacles and opposition, our team, driven by the desire to serve the
underprivileged, remained unwavering in our mission. Through the support of
generous donors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the prayers of our loved
ones, we were able to transform a simple wall into a symbol of kindness and
hope. As we continue to witness the impact of this initiative on the lives of
those in need, we are reminded that even in the face of adversity, acts of
goodwill have the power to inspire change and create a more compassionate
society for all.
