Thanks Kat for your insightful pieces. As we are in the trenches negotiating existence and thriving with so many partners from the villages, slums and all areas of Pakistan, we continue to keep our eyes focused on transformation and we know it will come when All Children learn, when All Adolescents and Young people aspire, achieve and feel empowered to stay on course no matter what. currently we are facing not just inflation at spiral levels but also political turmoil, praetorian guards - muzzling of voice, but we are fearless because there could be nothing more powerful, liberating and equalizing. Education for all without discrimination is so fully endorsed in religion, constitution, laws and entitlements -so that gives us our dose of courage and vitality

I am so grateful for people like you who continue doing the hard work to transform the system. We are cheering you on from afar!

Hello Kat, As a changemaker in Education, it was really impressive that you boldly aim to capture the human side of stories in time we are entangled only in numbers. Thanks for this effort. I really look forward to read your book. With Indian context, I am really looking to see the intricacies of rural and social discrimination layered in your narratives!

Hi Geetha, thank you for reading. Those are definitely important issues, so hopefully I can try to weave them in to some of the narratives!
