Tree plantation at MFEWO

Every year the tree plantation is organized at MFEWO to spread awareness in students. The main focus is to let the students know the importance of Trees in our lives.

 

Here are some benefits of trees.
Financial and Social Benefits

  • Research shows that planting trees and landscaping a home can add significantly to property values – as much as 9%.
  • By planting as few as three trees around a property, the average household can cut energy costs by $100 to $250. By planting a few more as windbreakers, businesses can save much more — up to 25% of their heating costs.
  • Trees reduce crime: Apartment buildings with modest greenery had 42% fewer crimes – 52% fewer when there was lots of greenery — than those without any trees.

Environmental Benefits

  • The net cooling effect of a young tree is equivalent to 10 room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day.
  • The canopy of leaves reduces water runoff and prevents soil erosion which improves the water quality in the community.
  • Trees improve air quality – and reduce noise pollution.

 

Selection of Inclusive students to Special Olympic

We are honored to share the great news of selection of inclusive students of Mehnaz Fatima Educational & Welfare Organization to special Olympics to be held in Austria in March 2017.
Hameez and Tehmina along with their trainer/Physical Education teacher left for Austria on March 10, 2017. A simple event was organized to see off the students at MFEWO campus in which parents of the students and BoD members participated.
This is the third time that students from MFEWO have been participating in special Olympics. The participants selected after going through a rigorous training and selection process initiated by the Special Olympics Pakistan SOP at national level.
This selection has greater meaning to the parents of inclusive children, to the inclusive children across the GB and to the mission of MFEWO. This is a message to all to understand the  disability as “Different Ability”.
The selection of the students strengthens our belief that differently able children can achieve the best if provided with the required environment and training.
