Iqrar-ul-Hassan announced that government-run schools across the country will not only be renovated but his team will also provide whiteboards, furniture and water dispensers to schools who lack such facilities.
“My team will also paint walls of different government-run schools and if by the end of this campaign, a single child from some poor village will ask his mother to admit him to (govt-run) school, I will consider my mission fulfilled.
It is pertinent to note here that last year, Sar-e-Aam team sent at least 116 children to school to pay tribute to 116 children who lost their lives in the horrific terror attack.
