KARACHI: Luminary Learning Circle Foundation (LLCF) welcomed Khalil Ibrahim Basaran, distinguished representative from Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), under Republic of Turkiye’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

During his visit, Chairman LLCF and former MNA Muhammed Najeeb Haroon, MQM MNA Syed Hafeezuddin Advocate were present. Khalid experienced firsthand LLCF’s holistic approach to providing quality early and primary education to over 400 students at Javed Miandad Campus. 

One highlight of tour was LLCF’s Organic Kitchen Garden, where students have planted their own vegetables in carefully labeled pots, each bearing their names.. Basaran was particularly fascinated by fact that students not only planted vegetables but also take responsibility for nurturing them. This hands-on learning experience instills sense of ownership and environmental stewardship in children while promoting healthy, sustainable living practices. He explored school’s other unique features, such as White Room for grooming and personal development and in-house kitchen providing daily meals to students.  He was introduced to LLCF’s comprehensive healthcare initiative, which ensures that students and their families have access to essential medical services.

“With great admiration, I must say kitchen garden model is truly inspiring. It’s an excellent initiative that we are excited to replicate in other schools that TIKA supports as well. Student-teacher ratio is outstanding and I was delighted to see how happy and engaged all students are,” he added.
