Handing  over  of  Rotary  School  Desks  to  Rotary  Pakistan  Literacy  Mission:  

Since  2011,  Hashoo   Foundation   (HF)   and  Rotary  Clubs   are   rigorously   contributing   to   improve  

literacy  and  access   to  quality  education   in  Pakistan,   through  distribution  of  Rotary  Books  and  

educational   materials   among   educational   institutions   and   organizations.   This   endeavor   is   in  

collaboration   with   Rotary   Books   for   the   World   Program,   Rotary   Club   Rawalpindi   and

Hashoo  Foundation  (HF)  also  extended  its  support  to  shift  these  desks  from  Islamabad  to  Karachi.  HF

It  has  been  realized  that  these  school  desks  and  the  dissemination  of  the  educational  material  will  

both  enable  HF  and  Rotary  partners  to  aid  literacy  efforts  in  Pakistan.  Allocation  of  these  educational  

resources  will   lead   to  availability  of  quality  education   to   the  under-­‐privileged   students  who  are   in  

dire  need  of  such  resources  for  their  better  prospects.
