Thanksgiving - YouTube

Thanksgiving is our Annual event at Renaissance Education Foundation (REF) higher Secondary School Campus. Students refresh their mind every year to stay thanks to all those who have touched them various walks of their life in their own different ways.

Students must learn to pay their Special thanks to their Parents, Teachers.

Renaissance Education Foundation (REF) also thanks to all well wishers, Friends, Supporters and donors, volunteers in the field of education.

Once again THANK YOU with your invigorative and admire thought towards our meaningful cause of education.

Thanking people isn't simply a matter of common courtesy. This isn't surprising, because giving thanks is a great motivational tool; who doesn't like to be thanked? What is surprising is how hard it is to do the thanking. (Even the Brits, with their thank-you week, apparently still aren't good at saying those two words; in another survey, 30% of respondents said they don't even bother anymore, instead opting for a much less gratitude-filled

Public Appeal for Community

Dear Friends of Renaissance Education Foundation:

Quality public education is a cornerstone of our democracy.

For almost 200 years, we have counted on public schools to develop engaged citizens, train competent employees and inspire innovative thinkers. Every day our schools are open their doors to welcome and educate all of our children - all the while struggling with shrinking budgets, dwindling resources and students who need more support, not less. Now more than ever, excellent public education must become the responsibility of all of us - and community-based organizations like Renaissance Education Foundation are leading the charge.

But we can't do it without you! Renaissance Education Foundation(REF) is on a mission. For almost fifteen years, REF has been quietly changing the paradigm of how neighborhood public schools work. Our model of cooperation and collaboration among schools; community and parent involvement; and efficient program delivery is innovative and groundbreaking - and getting results for our students with our vision that-

Renaissance Education Foundation is aim to provide better health care, quality education, educational facilities to the needy in Youhanabad Lahore Pakistan

Community Uplifting Through Education (CUTE)

LAHORE: Meet Josephine, a 34-year-old divorced mother of two. She runs an orphanage outside Lahore, where she gives shelter to children and has become a savior to those bonded by labour. “I visit brick kiln factories, where single parents and the elders of orphans make these little ones work to pay the debt they have taken,” says Josephine Her task is not an easy one, as she has to convince the guardians that they are better off with her. “I am currently pursuing a mother of five to give her children to me because her husband died and now she has to work day and night along with her children to pay his debt.” Brick kiln owners are the main hurdle and have threatened her. “They say if I can pay their loan, I can take the children, otherwise they will work till the loan is paid.” In Pakistan, although illegal, slavery in brick kiln factories is common knowledge and it originates from a vicious circle of debt which sucks in labourers. Josephine has surveyed these factories for a year and has been able to convince almost 20 families to give their children to her. She only helps the Christian minority currently because she feels they are more marginalised. “Most of the workers at these places are of Christian faith, and that is why I contact the local pastor of the area and take him along too, to get easy access.” Trained to be a nun but not allowed by her parents to leave the country, Josephine now uses what she has learnt to mother the orphans. She has rented an upper portion of a house, 20 kilometers outside Lahore, for Rs5, 000 per month, where she lives with her own two offspring plus another 10 boys and 7 girls. “I do not have any funding source. I teach at a local private school, and with whatever money I get, I try to give these children their lives back.” Along with this, she receives help from her brothers and the school principle where she is employed, but things are still hard. “Thankfully the principle has acknowledged my efforts, and has waived off fee for these children.” Surprisingly, ever since she started the orphanage, she has been asked by a number of parents to take their children away. “People are so poor in these villages that they want to get rid of the children even they are not in debt.” But she rejects them saying that she doesn’t want those who are orphans to feel different while living with such children who have parents. The children in Josephine’s care were not allowed to go to school due to their slavery status, Now they have learnt how to read and write. Published in The Express Tribune, January 23rd, 2012.
