Proceedings of the Ceremony:

A cordial ceremony was organized at SNPETGHSS to award certificates to the students involved in Book Bound Project. Book Bound is really an innovative initiative taken by Manzar Mian who has been mobilizing financial resources and primarily introducing such enabling ideas and activities since long in Sanjan Nagar and also in underprivileged public sector schools in collaboration with ITA.

The chief guest of the ceremony was Mrs. Nasreen Ayub and Mr. Manzar Mian being the coordinator of this project was hosting the ceremony with the facilitation of school based project coordinator Ms. Naila Nadeem. Ms. Faiza Shahrukh presided the meeting. In the beginning of the meeting, students were welcomed & chief guest was introduced. Book bound project’s vision & mission were shared with the participants and the core philosophy of the book bound project was highlighted which revolves around connecting students with each other by developing reading and sharing habits in a systematic and pleasant way. It was the dream of Mrs. Nasreen Ayub’s daughter (Mrs. Zahra) & her husband (Mr. Munib) who live in Singapore and have started this project in Pakistan.

Certificates of appreciation, scholarships & gifts were awarded to students of 7 & 8 grades who were performing their role as a teacher and grades 4 & 5 as students & made this project successful. For the summer vacation programme, bags/books were distributed to 7 & 8 grades students to encourage them. Later on Mrs. Nasreen Ayub expressed her views on completion of this ceremony that students should use ways of communication e.g. internet then they will be able to get recognition worldwide for their work and can be in touch with the world. She guided to senior students about reading & reviewing the literature. She also took interest to know the demand and suggestions for more books by the students in future.

Mrs. Mian (Mr. Mazhar’s mother) also said few words to students that ‘Love yourself, respect yourself & make an objective of your life.’

The ceremony ended on with special thanks by the principal to honorable guests, coordinators, organizers and students.
