“How Can I Help?”

We need to spread awareness of the state of education in Pakistan and what can be done to help the situation. DIL encourages schools to get involved not only in publicity but also in holding awareness/fundraising events between October 20 and November 20. Linked below are various resources on how to get involved. Please spread the word. If you know a direct link whom we could contact, please contact Minerva (minerva@dil.org) or Laila (laila@dil.org) so that a full info kit may be mailed to them.
