/\lty experience with Lahore school Corporate Social Responsibility Center has been one that was filled with so
many realizations and lessons. I haven't just been able co step out of my shoes and been forced co see through c1
perspective that could not see or experience privilege or encic/emenc like I did My experience caught me the idea
ofgenuineness; when I would go co underprivileged schools, I did never see a student as a product oftheir limiting
circumstances, I saw a writer, an actor, a leader, a public speaker or someone simply a genuine human being. My
experience caught me thac deep ac heart, were all just the same, we just have co cake different routes but our
destinations are more or less very similar. The ace ofgiving, ro give one's time and energy co kids I had never met

perspective has changed and broadened
in w~s I couldn't imagine by working
with chose litc/e children. I got co work
with a government school on Burki road
and a girl's orphanage. Loving, caring,
sharing and respect are che things chat I
have learned during my three community
service placements. Dealing with children isn't easy as it requires
patience. Giving back co communities is not something we easily do
as young people. I am forcunace co say chat che LS-CSRC program
really changed my life and made me want co do more. Working
wich chem has given me more confidence. These volunteering
experiences further opened my eyes co che needs ofmy community
and che many opporcunicies co serve by volunteering
I feel ecstatic chinking I goc co give back co the community. Even
if I could teach just two words co these children, it means so
much come.
I had a great time with children and ocher people participating in che
program. Overall ic was a very rewarding and humbling experience.
le made me realize how blessed Iam and how much Icake forgranted
daily.'
