Professor Seemin Hasan Dept of English AMU distributed the certificates to the girls of ASRA on completing their one year course on 1) ICT and 2) Tailoring and needlework

She said that for all women managing work and family is a challenge. She appreciated the work of the girls and said that they should make the best use of the opportunity as millions of girls in this world are not able to go to school.

Dr. Faiza Abbasi welcomed the guests and introduced the ASRA team. She reiterated the vision of the Muslim Social Uplift Society to impart life and literacy skills with ethics and morals. She said that skill development at ASRA is integrated with Islamic theology, literacy, and personality development.
The program was conducted by Ms. Gulfishan and the Vote of thanks was delivered by Ms. Gulfishan.
Student volunteers from AMU Ms. Samreen Ahmad, Law Faculty; Ms. Madiha Noman, English Dept; and Ms. Zeenat Fatima, Education Dept; were also present.
Later the ASRA team and the Madarsa Children of the JS IT Centre Digital Literacy program shared a humble iftar together.
Farewell-2021
With this, the skill development training at ASRA goes for a break until Eid. Our last day of the session was blessed Alhamdulillah. The team had organized a farewell get-together for itself with a lot of laughter, selfies in festive dresses, and breaking bread together.
Make extraordinary by the gracious presence of our Patron Dr. Hameeda Tariq. Her generous gifts for the staff and students and the biryani and Meetha treat were fabulous. Ended with her blessings and inspirational words. Rana madam and Sarah Kidwai Madam joined us too.
Heartfelt gratitude.
During Ramzan, the self-help group will continue to make stuff at home and meet once a week. The admin staff will complete the alumni database and prepare a follow-up report.
InshaAllah certificate distribution ceremony will be held in the first week of Ramzan followed by collective iftaar.
