Time and Location: According to the Proposal planned, program about volunteerism promotion
were held at Alkhair Public School, which is situated in the most rural area Bajaur Agency.
Activity held on 8
th
July, 2013 from 9 AM to 12 PM. Bajaur Agency is one of the seven agencies
in FATA, boarded to Afghanistan. It is located at the north west of Pakistan having Afghanistan
to its west, Dir to its north-east and Muhmand Agency to its south.

General Goals and Objectives: The general goals and objectives of the project were to promote
volunteerism in the community among the college, school students and other potential youths of
the society. Most of the people in these areas even dont know about the volunteerism concept
and its impact on society thats why I did work on it. This project brought awareness about
volunteerism in the local area of Bajaur Agency. There was no platform available for young
volunteers and through this activity we provide a platform for interested and potentials students
and other youth of the society. Now they can easily contact with concerned people and can
register their self as a volunteer. These volunteers are now connect with the community and
making it a better place to live.
We all believe that volunteerism unites people and bring them close to each other, and develop
love among community people. So by doing this project I promoted peace in the target
community where people are thirsty for peace.

Advertisement of the project: I advertise the project through visiting different schools, colleges
and different regions in the area and told them about the event in detail. I also forwarded
messages to different people through my mobile. I also announced about my project in the local
FM radio station. I also used Pena flexes
Recruitment of volunteers: I recruited volunteer on the basis of previous performances,
experience and on the basis of their level of interest. I tried to the best of my level during the
recruitment process and recruit the most suitable volunteers for this project.
Participant and Beneficiaries: There were more than 300 people who participated in this
program. These people were including students, teachers, local people from the local community
and other professionals. University students from departments also participated in this program.
All of these people were the direct beneficiaries as they learnt a lot of about volunteerism. Rest
of the community will be benefited indirectly in long period of time. I also registered potential
and interested people as a volunteer and they will be invited for different programs and activities
in the region.
ACTIVITIES IN PROJECTS:
First of all we took start form recitation of the Holly Quran and from the name of Almighty
ALLAH. I delivered a brief speech about the project, IREX, importance of the project,
importance of volunteerism and importance of modern education as well. There were two expert
speakers and prominent volunteers, who briefed the target audience about volunteerism, its
outcomes for the society and community and how to become a good volunteer. there were
speeches, songs, debates, skits and other performance from students about volunteerism and they
were given prizes at the end in form of trophy, book, pen etc. prizes were also given to talented
students for encouraging them toward modern education. At the end there were refreshment
programs for all the participation.








FAVORITE PART OF I THE PROJECT SMILE:
My favorite part was the excitement, emotion and rushing crowd at the volunteers registration
desk. Everyone was trying to get their self as a volunteer for social and noble causes. They were
very much happy for registration as a volunteer.

in Bajaur Agency. I also promote the project through different social networks including face
book. There were students and people from different are which also helped in the publicity of the
project.

Agency. I am working on registering more and more volunteers with me to increase it up to
maximum level. I am also planning to arrange training programs for these volunteer and to buy
necessary stuffs regarding targeted tasks, activities and events. If I get funds or other projects I
will polish the skills, abilities and capabilities of these volunteers and will enhance their
performance.
