Dawood Public School: Mesmerizing Karachiites with the Festival of Lights!

With an aim of lighting up the lives of others, the management and students of Dawood Public School held a mesmerizing two-day event to raise funds for Lady Dufferin Hospital. The event, named Festival of Lights, was open to the public on the last weekend of January. Hundreds of families came out and visited the festival to help the deserving patients of Lady Dufferin Hospital with their funds.

The idea behind this festival was to keep the beauty of Karachi in mind and since Karachi is called the City of Lights, no other festival could match up to the name other than a festival filled with beautiful lights of different colors. The event was sponsored by Engro Foundation and took place on the campus of Dawood Public School. The attendees of the event were fascinated and amazed at the amount of hard work that went into making it such a huge success.

 

Entering into the school made people feel like they were in an enchanted heaven. The entire campus was decorated with displays of light. From flowers to trucks, and from the garden to the walls, every part of the school was covered in lights that attracted visitors throughout.

The uniqueness of the festival was visible in every single performance and display, and was definitely not something to miss out on. Many of those who were unable to attend the festival had the opportunity of viewing the video posted by Dawood Public School after the event. The video is again extremely mesmerizing and makes one wish to be there and live the moments that can be seen. Little girls dressed as fairies were waving their wands, while a few girls were cycling around with neon lights on the wheels of their bikes. As this was happening on one end, some talented students went on to perform with their lit up hula-hoops. The video shows some mini-trains and small horse carriages decorated in the most amazing way, taking visitors on a tour of the campus.

 

As the video is played, you get to see fascinating fire performances by professional groups and dancers dawned in jackets outlined with LED lights performing in the dark. Students holding LED balloons and pick-up trucks with a dinosaur and house among many other light displays are also seen in the video. The event ended with fireworks that delighted everyone who was there.

The aim of this event was not only to raise funds for Lady Dufferin Hospital, but also to teach students about kindness and their responsibility toward the society. The students set up stalls and all the revenue generated was donated to the hospital.  The student and management of DPS were extremely successful in their valiant efforts of bringing light back to Karachi and in raising funds.
