September 26, 2020: CODE PAKISTAN held a session with regard to COVID-19 prevention and awareness at Jamia Binoria Batkhela, Malakand. The purpose of the session was to raise awareness about the necessary precautions related COVID-19 among the administration, students, and faculty members of Jamia Binoria and to distribute information material and personal protection equipment like masks and soaps among them.
Jamia Binoria Batkhela is a recently established mardrassah, founded last year. In a short period of time, however, the madrassah has attracted a large number of students. The administrator of the madrassah Mufti Muhammad Akbar is well-respected in the area.
Our session started with the video featuring talks by various doctors on COVID-19 prevention and awareness. The video was followed by a comprehensive presentation and practical demonstration on COVID-19 prevention by Dr. Ammar Maani, who accompanied the CODE PAKISTAN team for the session to handle the post-video presentation Q&A.
CODE PAKISTAN would like to thank the administrator of the madrassah Mufti Muhammad Akbar for his warm welcome to the visiting team of CODE PAKISTAN and his commitment to the cause of the welfare of the madrassah students in general and the students of Jamia Binoria in particular. Our session at Jamia Binoria Batkhela was part of our ongoing efforts to engage the students and faculties of madrassahs as community leaders to raise awareness about COVID-19 prevention.
