As many a hundred slum children have painted T-shirts to sell them for raising funds for the open-air school run by Master Ayub here on May 13. The painting and sale of 100 painted T-shirts has been organised by Revolutionist, a non-profit organisation, collaborated with Boston University to celebrate the Global Day of Service.
With the purpose of bringing joy to the hearts of the less privileged children of Islamabad, they brought together over a hundred slum kids to paint t-shirts. These shirts will be on sale at the gallery to raise funds for the school that Master Ayub is running from the last 27 years in a park located in F-6 sector.
"Natural elements have always made it difficult for the open air school to run uninterrupted; hence all the money generated from the sale will be used to construct a shelter for these students in a nearby slum. Ayub with the help of other philanthropists in the area has already developed some part of the shelter," said the organisers of the event. This sale event is being jointly organised by the Revolutionist, East-West Center Association Islamabad Chapter and gallery 6. According to the organisers, this exhibit will help raise at least Rs 100,000, which will be a valuable sum to complete the construction and give the children a school to call their own.
