REWARD OF FOOT-STEPS TAKEN TOWARDS JAMATKHANA

We recon the mark or impression made by a foot being the foot-step, an action of taking a step in gait or the distance covered by a stride in walking. In Arabic, it is called waqae or aqdam, in Hindi qadam, in Marathi paula and in Gujrati pagathiyu’n and dagalu.

Koran (36:12) says, “And We write down that which they send ahead (of their deeds) and the footprints that they left behind.” (wa nak tobo ma kademu wa a’asaare’ qum).

Continue to strive with courage and optimism and grasp all opportunities to serve your communities and contribute to making a more pluralistic and peaceful world. Since I was a young girl, my father always told me what a mistake it had been for many international organizations in the 1960s and 70s to focus almost exclusively on primary education and effectively defund tertiary and higher education across many countries.

If it's a daunting endeavor, so much the better. For every success there will be setbacks, but when you look back, it will be with the satisfaction of those who embrace hope, strive against the odds, and remain faithful to their commitments and ideals.

As we all know, an excellent education is a broad one, developing the interests in arts, culture, sports, as well as academics, but it also needs to be meaningful and relevant. As we saw in the film again, the extensive service learning program is local and sustainable and improves the quality of life of others. It also allows our students to demonstrate their growing leadership skills and values.
