In the rush of the hurried footsteps and the giggles of the little girls; a new companion has added its meows into the hallways.
Little kitten paws lean towards the walls and tilt their heads as the human footsteps stampede out of their way, in the wake of the daily grind. BMI-G is happy to be hosting a set of kittens on its campus- a family of 6, that has won the hearts of each and every student who crosses them in the hallways every day.
In countries like Japan, students are encouraged to keep class pets in order to learn about empathy and responsibility. Pakistani school systems do not offer such a facility, but the overwhelming kindness of the students as well as the staff members, has proven the cat’s point, that even if nobody cares- it will continue to bask under the sunlight, without a care or worry in life.
The girls on campus are kind to the animal, making it even more difficult to separate from it every day.
Schools must encourage empathetic behavior towards animals, so students gain that sense of responsibility from an early age.
This sums up the matter really nicely, as the stray cats then find more love in the building, rather than a simple corner behind a soft board, to hide if necessary.
Teaching children to be kind today, is our only hope for a kinder tomorrow!
