Pakistan's commitment towards the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs)'Education For All'
(EFA) is a challenge in a scenario with so many
impediments in the educational system. Indeed,
education is suffering from resource constraints,
because of existence of under-privileged society.
It is believed that greater education opportunities
and related resources will empower the younger
generation to acquire quality education with
diversepoolofknowledge.
Keeping in consideration the importance of
education and holistic improvement of
communities, Hashoo Foundation (HF) formed a
partnership with Rotary Books for the World
program and Rotary Clubs in Pakistan to
contribute in improving literacy efforts through
the donation of books to educational institutions,
learning centers, students, youth and
communities across Pakistan. Books and
educational material help students increase
knowledge and help develop modern society
through knowledge sharing and learning from
intellectuals living aroundthe world.
Education through reading is a sustainable and
long term learning process frequently associated
with experiences of students they attained during

their educational journey. Reading books on
diverse themes and subjects has a great
importance because this is the way to expand
students' knowledge and groom up their vision
andskillstowardsthe worldlyaffairs.

Second Wind Foundation donated two more
containers (40 feet each) filled with 103,873 books
and educational materials to help improve
literacy efforts in Pakistan. Hashoo Foundation,

which agreed to distribute the books to the

other opportunities in the future. This initiative
from Rotary Books of the World will go a long way
in embellishing a well-mannered, disciplined and
knowledgeablesociety.”
“The impact of this noble cause would be far
reaching. A generous contribution from Rotary
Books for the World program and Hashoo

books and other educational materials will be
fruitful in terms of getting more and more public
attentions and energy towards education, aside
from promoting rational and critical thinking.
Ultimately it will pose a positive impact on the
development ofsociety.”

teaching could be advanced, based on the precious
books Rotary Books for the World and that Hashoo
Foundation have gifted to my school and college.

environment of teaching and learning could be
expanded. Students' passion to sit in the library
and undertake research work will be a positive
outcome of this gracious cooperation, for which my
staffandI amreallythankful.”

benefitted from the educational materials and books

library, which, as they put it “will enable them to
make the school a real hub of information and
standard education.” Today, Rise International
Public School has a library consisting of more than
2,000 books.
Explaining the impact of books on the academic
well being of the school, Mr. Muhammad Arshad
said:
Reflectionfromteachersofthe sameschool:
“These books will play a critical role in broadening
the vision of students aside from deepening their
thought and reconstruction of information. Besides
studying the books to enrich their information,
students and teachers will also use these valuable
resources as a source of cross-reference for research
purposes. These books will help the students in
exploring the culture and literature of western
civilizations”,he added.
“Because of the internet, the habit of book reading
has been damaged. Students and teachers have
easier access to information through the internet
whenever they need something. The initiative of
Hashoo Foundation and Rotary Club will play
significant role in rejuvenating the reading habit
fromthe diversified collectionofbooks”.

4.2. Case Study 2: Hunza Leaders College, Aliabad
Hunza
Hunza Leaders College (HLC) is an emerging
group of colleges in Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan. Being
a leading educational institute, HLC is striving to
provide all basic necessities to their students.
Operating in a far-flung area, the institute faces a
tremendous lack of resources to promote the
efficacyoftheir students'education.
Management of Hunza Leaders Colleges
explained:
“Without a considerable number of resources, an
educational institution can hardly claim to impart
standard education toitspupils”.
Mr. Shukoor (HF) organized an orientation session on book reading habits with students in Islamabad.
With regard to the Rotary books donation, the
spokespersonofHLCadded:
“The impact of books on one's life is everlasting and
far-reaching. We believe there is no room for
mediocrity in the 21st century. Students must be
equipped with the knowledge and competence to
effectively compete on national and international
platforms. The accessibility to the international
universities now is in hand-held computers. The
books will greatly improve analytical skills of
students to understand their field from different
approaches i.e. European, American etc. that would
enable them to pursue higher studies accordingly.
This will bring lasting effects not only to the lives of
students buttothe communityas whole”.
Rotary books will help promote excellent reading
habits amongst students, who, in return, would be
able to deliver effective services to community in
the future.

4.3. Case Study 3: Dar Ali Bin Abi Talib School,
H-8 Islamabad
“We are pleased to serve the most deserving segment of
the society by providing best facilities in Islamabad.
Due to lack of resources/materials and other highly
prioritized needs of the students, it was quite difficult to
replenish the library with required resources. Now is
possiblewiththe help ofthe Rotarybooks”.
Dar Ali Bin Abi Talib School, an Islamabad based
educational institute and a project of International
Islamic Relief, focuses on the education of
orphans and less privileged students across
Pakistan. It provides boarding to more than 200
orphan students that also includes provision of
free education with best facilities available at the
premises. Affiliated with Federal Board of
Intermediate and Secondary Education
Islamabad for Higher Secondary School
Certificate Level, the school has remarkable
footingsinitsoperation.
Javed Ullah Khan, the principal of the school
spoke of the contribution from HF and Rotary as
follows:
Keeping in consideration the need and
importance of the library, the concerned school
Management inferred:
The institute observed that number of students
attending the library increased after it was
replenished with books. The management and
students are very pleased with the donation of
valuable books and educational materials by
Rotary andHF.
Hashoo Foundation has conducted regular visits
to the library to provide their technical support in
howto manage the booksinthe library.
“In order to keep registration with Federal Board of
Intermediate and Secondary Education Islamabad, it is
essential that the library should have at-least 3,000
books. The school was in shortfall of books and now they
regularly insist on increasing the number of books. The
direct benefit of Hashoo Foundation and Rotary book
donation is that the library has been filled with adequate
number ofbooks—aconditionrequired forFBISE”.
5. Role of Volunteers
Volunteers played vital role in effectively sorting
and distributing of Rotary books among the
selected institutions. Education Department of
Hashoo Foundation developed a well-organized
team of volunteers, majority of them are HF
Scholars, YDC Students and Alumni members of
HF Scholarship Program. In 2014, Hashoo
Foundation engaged approximately 200
volunteers for unloading, sorting, grading, listing,
packing anddistributing ofRotary books.
HF team, Rotary and other stakeholders highly
appreciated their dedication and spirit of
volunteerism. A core member of the HF team
noted that he was very inspired by the passion
and dedication of these volunteers towards the
task assignedto them.
From the volunteers' perspective, the experience
was also beneficial for them as during sorting,
grading and listing of books they went through
considerable contents, which was a source of
informationandinspirationforthem.

6. Challenges and Learnings
We received thousands of different books,
which need ample time for sorting. It is
difficult to find regular volunteers who
commit to help for certain time. New
volunteers joining in every weekend
makes difficult the continuity and the
consistencyofthe work.
Educational institutions in far-flung areas
have difficulties reaching the distribution
point. In order to overcome this obstacle,
HF had to procure support to deliver the
booksthrough courier.
It was difficult to develop a schedule with
Rotary volunteers and mobilize them on
requiredtime.
Due to unavailability of communication
services and Internet in far-flung areas, it is
very difficult to collect pictures and reports
induetime.
We learned there is a high demand for
reference books like dictionaries,
thesaurus,Encyclopediasetc.

The USA effort has spread well beyond Texas in
its tenth year. Rotary Clubs in sixteen states have
contributed to the project. The number of the
shipments over the years has increased from three
per year to three per month. February 2006 saw a
dramatic increase in shipping capability when
Mclean Cargo Specialists started hosting the
shipments. McLean was a professional Freight
Forwarder owned by Rotarian Angie Jimenez.
Problems with paperwork which had troubled the
project from its beginning have been solved by
McLean. Mr. Jimenez has sold his business in 2008
and the new owners did not wish to donate their
servicesasMr.Jimenezdid.
The project is hosted by Excel Corporation in its La
Porte, Texas location. A professional warehouse
and shipper are necessities for the transport of
donations-in-kind. Volunteers are absolutely
necessary to make the project work but
supervision of loading the containers and
processing the paperwork needs to be
professionally done. The Rotarians of District
5890 and 5910 have provided a reservoir of
volunteer help at repackaging the books for
optimum loading and shipping. Click here for
information on the preparation of books for
shipping. The Rotarians at the Wisconsin and
New York collection sites are particularly good at
preparing the booksforshipment.

Later, the southern area of Pakistan was
redistricted to number 51 and Rotarian Yussuff
Nurmahomed Chinoy remained the Governor in
1954-55. Re-districting of the area later resulted
into two districts namely 310 comprising of areas
from Kabul to Delhi and 305 from Karachi to
Bombay. In the year 1961-62 Syed Jameel H. Rizvi

then Pakistan (including East Pakistan) was
formed into one district 307. However, after
