Greeting Card exchange between schools

Festivals are social celebrations, encouraging us to reach out to others, create new or consolidate existing bonds and celebrate joy collectively. We believe this objective should be furthered to form a bond between India and Pakistan.

Aaghaz-e-Dosti facilitates exchange of greeting cards between indian and pakistani schools on independence day, new year and festivals. Independence Day is especially a time of great jingoism and so the objective is to send message of peace. Cards are also exchanged to express solidarity when any tragedy happens across the border.
