PESHAWAR, Feb 02 (APP):For more than two decades, the mountains and quiet landscapes of Bajmori a remote village in Tehsil Balakot of Mansehra District silently witnessed a painful reality.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Innocent children were forced to study under the open sky, enduring extreme cold, scorching heat, and heavy rainfall, without a proper school building or basic educational facilities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Despite broken walls and the absence of infrastructure, the children continued to hold books in their hands and dreams in their eyes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These were children with no platform to raise their voices who often walked to school barefoot, stood in the rain clutching their schoolbags to their chests, holding onto a single belief: that education might one day change their lives.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They were deprived, but they were never hopeless.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today, that same land has become a witness to history.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The official inauguration of a Government Primary School building in Bajmori marks the end of two decades of educational neglect.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This transformation was not the result of coincidence, but of vision, responsibility, and personal commitment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The change became possible when Aftab Ahmad, a renowned IT expert, technology company CEO, and a native of the same region, stepped forward\u2014not as a spectator, but as a guardian for the children of his own land.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Having himself received education through Qarz-e-Hasana (interest-free educational support), faced financial hardship, and learned through struggle, he chose not to turn away from adversity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Instead, he transformed his experience into purpose.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Driven by personal responsibility and a deep emotional connection to the area, he personally funded and completed a five-classroom school building within just 25 days\u2014a milestone that could not be achieved in the past 20 years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This structure is not merely a building of bricks and cement, It is the answer to years of tears, patience, and unanswered prayers of children who were ignored for far too long.<\/div>\n
It represents dignity, safety, and a secure future for generations to come.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is not merely a story of success\u2014it is a story of return.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A return of a man who reached the global IT world, yet never forgot his roots, his people, or the pain of his community.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today, he is not only an IT company CEO, but a visionary leader and a living example of social responsibility, who has used technology not merely for business growth, but as a tool for social transformation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Through voluntary contributions in education, direct support for orphaned and underprivileged children, and empowering youth with digital skills for self-reliance, his efforts extend far beyond infrastructure.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the same time, through international IT projects and collaborations, he has proudly represented Pakistan in the global information technology sector.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Addressing the gathering, speakers emphasized that when children are denied shelter, their dreams begin to fade.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Education is not charity\u2014it is a fundamental right.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The children of Bajmori struggled silently for this right for two decades, and today, that struggle has finally borne fruit.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Local elders, teachers, and parents hailed the initiative as a historic and exemplary milestone not only for Bajmori, but for the entire region.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They stated that this achievement will be remembered as a benchmark of leadership, character, and genuine social impact.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The ceremony concluded with prayers that this school becomes a center of knowledge, values, and hope, and that the children educated here may one day become a source of light for other deprived communities.<\/div>\n
