Living Rain-forest organizes a “Global Essay Competition’
which invites school children to outline their ideas on different issues. This
year’s theme was ‘sustainable living’ and the steps needed for societies to
achieve them”.
This
year saw a record level of participation, with registrations received from 73
countries and 1094 contestants entered in the competition.
Like
last year, PakTurk International School and Colleges once again proved their
creative skills by becoming the only schools from Pakistan with students in
finalist and honourable mention categories.
Our students Fatima Abbas; Maaz Ahmed; M. Musab Ali Memon; Danish Harwani;
Mohammad Dawood Ali Memon, Salar Inam Bhatti and Soonh Inam are among the finalists now and will be
considered for Grand prizes. The announcements of grand prize winners will be
made in July this year.
The students with honourable mention prize are Eshah Eman; Iqra Khalid; Faheera Ghaus;
Alizah Murtaza Dayo; Ghulam-e-Raza; Abdul Rehman Nagi; Esma Betul Erguvan;
Abdul Wasay and Rameen Khizar.
The standard seems to keep rising every year and we received
many strong entries, making it quite a challenge to single out individual
entries for special mention. In the end, the original voices tended to stand
out.
The
Judges are still deliberating and need a few more days to select the Grand
Prize Winner and 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prize Winners in each category from the
identified Finalists. The names of the Grand Prize Winner and 1st/2nd/3rd Prize
Winners will be announced at the 2014 International Schools Debates
at The Living Rainforest, UK on July 8-11.
