All of you are the capital of this country and nation. I will not tolerate abuse of you at all

There was no sound except the sound of paper fans swinging in the room of this group of thirty-five children of the school. The boys' shirts were soaked with sweat. The cold water bottles in their beds had become warm. Javed had solved a math question and wrote on the answer board that the nominally running fan was answered with the sound of a rattle.
When the sun's rays came in through the two small bright grains, the temperature would start to rise. Even so, the light coming from the open windows would fill it. Farhad looked around the classroom in despair. His heart began to cry tears of blood. Some tears were also shining in his eyes.
"Don't start crying now my friend" Nasir said to his friend Farhad sitting on the desk with him.


"I don't know when my dream will come true! You know what I saw in my dream," Farhad said.
"Yes, you said that big AC have been installed in the school. Mechanical coolers have been installed for cold water. When the electricity is switched on, the generators are switched on and the fans keep running. The cooling of the AC takes a long time. Nasser replied.

"At the same time, Sir Khawar entered the room. Today, he was very angry. As soon as he came, he took off his gown and threw it on the table. All the children, who were leaving half-naked with the fan swinging, were surprised to see the teacher. were gone
"What happened to Sir Khawar today?"
After swinging a cardboard fan for some time, he started teaching with great courage.
In the principal's office, the principal was sitting on his comfortable chair opening the account book.
"This year, a total of five hundred and forty thousand rupees was collected in a year based on the monthly fee of three hundred rupees for a child, of which about three hundred thousand rupees were spent on salaries and other expenses and the rest in the development works of the house," he said loudly. He said with a laugh and looked at Hamdani Sahib proudly.

"In other words, you are a very smart man. You don't let anyone know about the manipulation and you also keep my share." Hamdani smiled and started sipping the cold bottle.
Sir Khawar was coming to the principal for some work, and as soon as he heard this conversation, he stopped himself at the door. After hearing all the conversation, he quickly opened the door and stood in front of the principal.
"I have heard the conversation between you and Mr. Hamdani. Why are you doing this to these innocent children? They are taking their rights illegally."
"Sit down and talk to Tameez! You know who you are talking to." The principal was not at all ashamed of being caught stealing.
"I know very well who I am talking to.
You don't see what facilities are lacking in the school. The fans in the classrooms make less air, more noise, children in the school are forced to drink water from pots despite paying so much fee, generators in electricity load shedding. Due to lack of arrangement, the children are suffering in the heat and you are stealing their fee money.

"This is my personal matter. Who are you to say something?" said the principal.
"This is not only your case, it is the case of my children. The children of the poor come here to study and you are exploiting these children." Khawar Sahib came out saying this.
Sir Khawar was worried about the heat. He informed the children about the principal's corruption and said: "I will soon do something about it myself."
"
"But sir, if you lost your job while doing this?" Farhad expressed concern.
"I don't care about it at all. All of you are the capital of this country and nation. I will not tolerate abuse of you at all." Sar Khawar spoke with determination.
"You just have to be my voice and support me, you will be my voice." Sar Khawar said excitedly.
All the children said resolutely: "Sir! We are with you."
Soon, a post about the condition of the school went viral on all social media, detailing the budget and tasks the school received. Along with this, as soon as these pictures went viral, all the children expressed their opinions.

There was extensive media coverage. Farhad actively participated and recorded the statement to the news reporters. Soon after the media got involved, the principal risked losing his job and being caught.
Within a few days the school was turned around. Action was taken against the principal. Big generator in the school, new fans in every class, filter for cold and clean water connected to electric water cooler.
Apart from this, flower pots were placed outside the rooms. For which an experienced financial advisor was appointed. The teachers were also helping the children with a cool heart and mind, all the children were happy, but Farhad's happiness. There was no shelter, because his dream had been fulfilled.
