Students of szabist Karachi campus participated in a rally called the "Azadi Flood March" on Aug18th'2010. Students marched from 90 Clifton to 2 Talwar and formed a circle around it while they sung the national anthem, after which the students spread out in all four directions around the round-a-bout and started collecting donations for the flood victims.
Students held green banners, green donation boxes and gathered around intersections in groups where they collected donations from people passing by. Great enthusiasm was seen among not only people in cars but people travelling in buses, rikhshaws (including rikshaw drivers who donated generously) and padistrins. Ocassional cheers were also heard from the students whenever someone would donate to boast the sprit of these young enthusiastic volenteers.At the end of the 120 minute Azadi Flood Marzh the students gathered inside the round-a-bout and marcked to SZABIST 100 Clifton where they counted the money they had gathered. Because of the tremendous effort put in by these students they managed to collect a sum of RS. 302,250 for the flood victims.
Hats of to SZABIST student council, SZABIST Rotract club, SZABIST Sports society, SZABIST Social Sciences Society and Jaag for hosting such a campaign.
