In a heartwarming display of solidarity and compassion, a Chinese-Pakistani charity group has teamed up with other charitable organizations and love businesses to deliver 700 pairs of shoes to children in 2 Afghan refugee schools in Islamabad and tent camps in the flood-hit Dadu district of Sindh province, in early May.
The initiative, led by the China-Pakistan Youth Exchange Community, aims to provide comfort and warmth to the children. The shoes, carefully selected to ensure they are comfortable and suitable for children’s growing feet, were carefully packed and transported to the affected areas. At the schools, the children were overjoyed to receive their new shoes. Many of them had never owned a pair of brand-new shoes before and were eager to try them on.
Principals expressed their deep appreciation for the kindness and support shown by the charity group. In Dadu district, the shoes were distributed to children living in temporary tent camps set up after the floods. Children who have been displaced from their homes and schools wear worn-out or inadequate footwear.
