Borders may be divided but we are all striving for a common goal, that is development.
Every country aims for a better future and improved living conditions as well as skilled manpower and efficient human resource. How can all this be brought about? The answer is good education. This is a fact that cuts across cultures and continents. In this fast developing world where education has become a global concern, people of all societies realize its importance.
India and Pakistan, divided by borders and border disputes, have in the past, made several attempts at promoting peace between the two nations. These efforts were directed towards establishing a common consensus between the countries for not using weapons against each other. Such peace talks and efforts are better left for the politicians since they have the military under their control. Let the common citizen make peace on a different level altogether, that of providing good education to each and every one of their children.
As this gesture of promoting awareness towards education, on the 60th year of India's independence, we have decided to send 6,000 (sixty hundred) hand-made cards prepared by our students to Pakistan. The trend that we are trying to establish here, may as well get some support from our immediate neighbors who would come to know about our earnestness towards promoting education which is not only of a good quality but is accessible to all. These greeting cards would be as good tidings from their neighboring country, telling them that they may be divided by political boundaries but are united when it comes to promoting education and development. By doing this and by realizing the importance of quality education, we would be marching straight on the path of developing, on either sides of the border.
