Farabi Primary School is adopted by Zafar Sultan Memorial (ZSM) Trust. It was founded in the loving memory of my mother Mrs. Zafar Sultan. She was a founding member of APWA – All Pakistan Women’s Association, formed by the late Mrs. Rana Liaqat Ali khan, wife of the first prime minister of Pakistan, to help the needy suffering the aftermath of a newly created nation. APWA was one of the largest charitable organization of its time. ZSM trust hopes to build and manage a facility, which will be boldly emblematic of the Canadian society – a people of diverse backgrounds coming, communicating, and working, together, peacefully, creating a strong sense of community.
The trust first organized one of the largest multi-cultural Canada day celebrations of its kind from 1996 till 2006 with participation of over a thousand members of Pakistani community. This celebration was also attended by several consul generals, members of federal and provincial parliaments, members of security agencies, members of Canadian armed forces and members of the media. It used to be a great show full of eastern dances, songs, and music.
At Farabi Primary School, every child’s potential is cherished and nurtured, regardless of their background or circumstances. Here, education isn’t just about academics; it’s a beacon of hope and empowerment. The dedicated teachers go above and beyond to ensure each student receives a quality education, unlocking opportunities that may have seemed out of reach otherwise. Through innovative teaching methods, personalized attention, and a supportive environment, this school is a haven where children thrive, equipped not just with knowledge but also with the confidence to chase their dreams.
