Project description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kashf Shah and Anish Arif \u2013 both prominent global leaders in QECT’s Pakistan’s Chapter \u2013 orchestrated a heartening initiative. Anish, who is Education Developer and Coordinator at the higher education institution FCCU, united forces with Kashf, Co-chair of QECT’s Pakistan Chapter. Together, they have undertaken the ambitious mission of installing 10,000 bird feeders across Lahore to support environmental diversity. The timing of this endeavour was particularly poignant, as it aligned with the sweltering summer months when soaring temperatures pose a significant threat to avian life. By providing a vital source of sustenance, these bird feeders have become essential lifelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Status<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a one-off project. Once the goal of installing 10,000 bird feeders has been achieved, the bird feeders will be maintained sustainably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Working together on this project is giving us personal satisfaction. We are grateful to the QECT Network for the networking opportunities that brought us together.”<\/p>\nKashf Shah and Anish Arif <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Please reach out to us at\u00a0connect@qct.org.uk<\/a>\u00a0to get involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
