May 2009 | My Trip to My Partner Classroom

The Extraordinary Khanott School
by Nadia Tareen

On December 26, 2008, I visited an extraordinary school. I started the Baldwin School’s Girls Learn International (GLI) chapter in September 2007, and though I, along with my chapter’s twenty members and faculty advisor Dara Solotoff, had already communicated with the fifth and sixth grade students of this school through Cultural Exchange Projects before my trip to my chapter’s Partner Classroom, my journey to the Khanote Village on that December day in Pakistan opened my eyes. I met amazing teachers and students, and learned how happy the girls of our Partner Classroom are to be receiving a high quality education. The Khanote village felt like a world away from the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, PA. The environment of the school and village was even different from my family’s home in Karachi, Pakistan. Nonetheless, my experience at the Khanote School was invaluable and I greatly enjoyed meeting the students of my Partner Classroom.
