Humaira Riaz School is using empathy for animals which actually helps children to understand responsibility. When they go out of their way to protect animals, they find the power in themselves to take responsibility for the home, their belongings and other family members. They have a greater sense of 'I can do this. I'm capable.
Therefore, the students are taught to rescue animals and look after them at the school. The school started this program by rescuing two dogs and looking after them. However, the number has grown significantly with 7 rescue dogs, 6 goats, 5 ducks, 12 chickens and 6 rabbits. The older students are responsible for feeding all the animals their morning meals whereas the younger ones have the responsibility to walk the goats after school.
