Free of cost teaching
Master Ayub started teaching a group of four students in Islamabad's sector, F-6. The students have been increasing exponentially and currently 200 students are enrolled in the school. All the students studying at the school are underprivileged and are being taught free of cost.
The school opens daily at noon and shuts around sunset. Unfortunately, the school does not have a proper location and is set up in a public park where students sit on the ground and the teachers can be seen teaching them with a black-board besides them.
Recently, a group of students have collaborated with Master Ayub to give the school a more official look and collect donations.
The management team has also started a volunteer program where different students from schools, colleges and universities come to the park to teach the children and turn the compassion into action. There are two full-time teachers who have been teaching alongside Master Ayub for quite sometime, without taking any pay.
The building is gradually being constructed as donations flow in.
