The Walkway
School (TWS) was started in July 2018 by Umar Shahzaib along with some other
humanitarians. Its purpose was to provide the underprivileged kids the life
that they can’t afford. He had this in his mind that he along with his team want
to contribute towards the betterment of the society also they wanted to work on
removing the class differences in our society and this was the very small step
towards it.
Umar Shahzaib
is a 21-year-old social activist, doing his bachelors from SZABIST Hyderabad.
He is Vice President at AIESEC Hyderabad and a blogger at Apoetic journey also
he looks after his family business and conducts motivational sessions for
students.
Starting a
school at this young age was a big deal. It got harder as he was having no
friends since the start and there was no one to support him. Being raised in a
strict family, his parents didn’t even approve of his decision to start that project
because they thought it was just a waste of time. At that time it was his own
decision to take this huge step and without any sustenance it’s harder to make
conclusions like this. “Being in
Hyderabad and having strict parents, I have even lied for going out so I can
work for my passion”
He got mocked
a lot when he started it. He was accused by people that this is going to be
some strategy to talk to girls and was mocked as harasser as well by few. Umar
was facing depression before the startup and he thought he will get busy and
won’t get time to think much about himself. After such abhorrence he got into
severe depression, more distressed than the usual and literally couldn’t sleep
and he lost all his hopes.
In the
beginning, when they started it in a park he was mocked by many and accused of
just doing it for fake publicity. They started with 2 students at that time. Later after 6 months they shifted it into a
rented flat and it’s been 18months TWS is running and now People praise them.
TWS currently has a good amount of underprivileged students register. He
further said “I was a part of many
social events before that but never felt like I was doing justice with society
but after this initiative, I felt I have achieved something”
The walk
away school was shortlisted as the top 15 social enterprises of Pakistan by the
United Nations Development Program. “This
reminded me about how we started it just by sitting in a garden and when a poor
little girl came up for begging at that moment me along with my friends decided
to take a step for the betterment of society and to give her a hope to become a
better citizen”
Later Umar Shahzaib
joined AIESEC and his journey took a huge turn. After 1.5years in AIESEC, he
got promoted as VICE PRESIDENT at AIESEC in Hyderabad. He joined AIESEC as a
broken human and an introvert and a person who had no friends and there he met
some people who never judged him for who he was. They appreciated his existence
and He found friends like family. So he decided to work hard there as it is an
International youth lead organization and he had this in his mind that this
will help him gain skills and strengthen his resume so he worked harder. He
said, “Now I am Vice President of Human
Resource at AIESEC in Hyderabad and I feel that I am on my way to achieving my
goal to be an influential person”
Umar Shahzaib
started writing officially in June 2019. He said about blogging “I couldn’t speak my heart out to anyone
and that burdened me a lot. I used to cry and have breakdowns and I always had
a passion to write since the start and wanted to be known as an influential
human since the start so I started to write my heart out to ease myself”.
His writing pieces are very helpful to an aware society for certain situations
and he also shares his certain experiences so people can get an idea of how to
overcome things. His well-known poetry ‘Haalat E Mulk’ which was recited and
composed by himself was highlighting the main issue of rape and injustice with
young girls.
“I always wanted to be an inspiration
for youth and I started it from entering in MUNs (model united nations) circuit
while doing my O-levels. It was in 2017 when I started working in FPS for
Social responsibility”
Umar started
an organization named Healing Hands Foundation along with some family friends in
January 2018 left it in June 2018. In July 2018 he started ‘The Walkway School.
Currently, he is not in the team of TWS but he was one of the initiators and
the one who had this idea and wanted a team to initiate it. Although he still
takes part in different social activities happening around.
Currently,
Umar Shahzaib is working on a school in his village Chambar, district Tando Allahyar.
He always tries to motivate students to “get
involved in such activities because degrees and studies can be boring sometimes
and extracurricular activities will enhance your skills and make your links
with different people”.
He does
motivate youth to utilize their time in something that helps them in their
career and future, contribute to the betterment of society and people around. He
has participated as a speaker in various motivational seminars and he usually
helps other depressed people deal with their depression and always builds
something of your own, own any skill of yours which will help you in the future.
Recently, he said in his speech in a motivational seminar that “you people
should always be focused on your dream and don’t believe that your father’s
earnings are yours or you are also a part of his achievement. This will always
make you weaker and dependent”.
"Do what you do the best and
make the situation that you face be the best for yourself."- Umar
Shahzaib.
