My first impression of Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka

Stephanie Walter
The plain of Punjab seems endless and from a distance village TGD looks like a little toy village made of clay bricks. As I enter the village I feel the pulse of life there; vibrant and lively. There is no hurry there. People live in peace and are happy at a slow pace. I could also see solar energy panels mounted on the building of Woman Art Center.
I am here in TGD to be with kids in the schools. On my way to school on the first day I am latterly surrounded (and escorted) by girls. As I enter the school for the first time, set of big, brown eyes look at me with curiosity and joy. I find the little school girls happy to find me among them. Their joy says welcome to me.
And so I am glad to teach English lessons and a bit of basic math to girls. I had brought magnetic letters and number from Germany and they are not only amazing for young girls but also a great help in teaching. The girls really love them.
As the school blackboards are not magnetic so we converted doors in to into blackboards. While I teach, I wonder how much potential these students have. They are so keen on learning. It is a sheer pleasure to be with such students. And the pleasure of being with little girls makes me forget my urban life.

Thursday, February 12, 2015
Stephanie Walter has master degree in Social Studies and Anthropology. She is in Pakistan for the first time. During her stay in Pakistan village, Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka (known as called Dolls Village), she is active in the government girls school for teaching English and playing with them. Volunteers are a very helpful and welcome exposure for the students (also for people) to outside world. Lot of foreign experts and volenteers have been to the village over the past two decades. They bring along their own experience and expertise and everyone of them makes a different. You are welcome Stephanie Walter.
