As I drive to drop my children at one of the two top-brand schools located at the crossroads on Kurri Road, Islamabad, it's an eye sore to see the recurring challenge posed by the pool of water that accumulates on the road during rainfall which has become a daily ordeal for students, parents, and staff who brave the waters to reach their destination. While it's the government's responsibility to address this issue, I firmly believe that our esteemed schools should take the lead in demonstrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and empathy by fixing the road and providing proper drainage. By doing so, they can showcase their commitment to the community and value service to society. A simple yet impactful gesture like this can inspire a new generation of change-makers who understand that education extends far beyond the classroom walls.
In contrast, it is a sight for sore eyes to see in an unrelated but above spirit espousing news that an Australian water brand has set a remarkable example by printing the Prophet's message on its bottles: "Even if you live by a stream, don't waste water." This is precisely the kind of trait-building we need in our schools - one that cultivates responsibility, empathy, and a commitment to making a positive impact. these two schools should jointly or separately need to take the initiative and fix the road road drainage , providing a solution to the pooled water issue. In doing so, they will not only fix the physical infrastructure but also the mindset of their students and win the local community's heats. This small step can make a significant difference, inspiring their students to follow in their school's footsteps and become agents of change. Together, these schools can and should create a ripple effect of kindness and responsibility that extends far beyond the school gates and into the wider world.
