KARACHI: The Dawood Foundation is conducting a summer camp at Dawood Public School for the underprivileged children from various parts of Karachi. The summer camp aims to provide free-of-cost enriching learning experience along with an inspiration to pursue education for a better future. Over 250 students are enrolled in this three-week summer camp who are guided by experts in art and crafts, computer, creative writing, gardening, music, yoga, indoor and outdoor games. The three-week summer camp commenced from Monday 25th June 2018. The camp is being organized for the third consecutive year.

The summer camp gives an opportunity to the children from various backgrounds to work and learn together while enjoying the best facilities provided by Dawood Public School to its children. The camp is managed by the staff of The Dawood Foundation, teachers and volunteers from the schools.

One of the highlights of this year’s summer camp is environmental upgradation in which children are being taught the importance of gardening. Students are given seeds to sow in the first week of the camp along with the instruction on how to take care of the sapling. By the end of the camp, children will have a new plant.

The summer camp is also supported by RoboTech and Steamers who have developed special courses for the children to enhance their creative flair as well as equip them with problem solving skills.
