About New Living River
Hi,
My name is Imran Parvaiz. My education is B.A (Bachuler in Art), B.ed (Specialization in education), L.L.B (Law Degree 3 years), DIT (Division Information Technology).
I have been fascinated with education since childhood. I got my early education by living in a small village of my own. She was an honest and hardworking teacher. Since it was a village, there was no regular school and even Pohune had started school education till 4th class. I studied till IV and had to travel a lot to other villages to get further education. Well, I did not give up and continued my education. Time passed and I continued to study. When I passed the eighth grade of my education, I had to travel ten kilometers daily to a distant village for further education, but I did not give up.
During the journey I was often disturbed to see that many children were working with their parents. He thought in his heart that maybe his parents should make him work with them. Then the thought came that maybe they don’t want to read it themselves. These questions often made me think. I used to pray on the way to school and on the way back from school. During this time many changes took place. Since Dad was abroad, the house was fine, but he came back. When he returned home, his condition worsened rather than improved. He is a plumber by profession and spent many days and nights in hunger because he could not find work in the beginning. I suddenly dropped out of school and started working. A few days later, he brought some money to his family and asked them where they came from. Father John liked this very much, but it happened to Mother John. He started working in the fields outside with some women from the village and told me to go to school.
I will run the house as much as I can to complete my education. I forbade him many times but Amy John said no you study. God has set a goal in your life that you do not yet know, but in time you will know. I started going to school again and at the same time God said in my heart that you can pay for your education by working part time after school so I paid for my education by working part time and on holidays He also arranged for a bicycle. It was very old and had no brakes, and because of the frequent punctures, it had to be pushed and brought with it. Eventually he stopped using punctures and continued to use them without air. Most people would smile when they saw it. And there was the same uniform that I used to wash and wash every day on my way back from school and leave in the morning without ironing. Because there was no ironing . He borrowed irons from his neighbors for a few days and ironed the uniforms, but because of his narrow-mindedness, he thought to himself that it was all right to live like this. I used to think that I was living a very hard life but when I looked at the children who were old enough to study but they were forced to work with their parents. I talked to a lot of people but all of them said that we should feed or educate our children. Now I had no answer. I started praying and asking God to give me a way, to give me a companion. Give me friends who will support me in this noble and beautiful cause of humanity. So that they can be served.
This bothered me a lot. I remember from then on I started trying to figure out why.
Eventually it turned out that these people are slaves to the butts. Being slaves, they work for half the price and deduct half of the weekly cost, which is so small that they borrow from the shopkeeper each week to buy food and drink for the next week. Have to bring On the other hand, the shop owner starts lending money and on the other hand, the owner of the house writes off more loans on them, which he would not have taken. That is why these people have been working with their heads bowed for years.
There was pain in my heart that in the hereafter these are also children. They are losing their childhood, which they should be in school, and are being humiliated with their parents.
Since then, I have prayed for them, O God, to give these children the resources to get an education so that they can get an education, not only physical but also spiritual. Get to know Christ Jesus. Live like Christ Jesus. Bring education, growth, happiness, joy, and growth to your family.
Then, when my education was ten, I started my service with my friends Andreas and Elias Saleem who were illiterate but wanted to study. I bought them books and copies and stationery and gave them away for free and said go ahead and make the earth green and lush.
Well they started studying, seeing them and many students came and I bought books for all the students and gave them away for free so that they would not be burdened and taught them daily and at the same time gave them Bible. Also taught. Now the result of this teaching is that they are all with me for preaching spiritual education.
Similarly, my sister Saima got her early education by living with her grandparents. Since the foundation of Saima’s teaching was Christian teaching, she had the experience of fasting and praying from her childhood.
This series continued from 2007 to 2011 in which my sister Saima taught young girls who lived in houses and managed their house by working in the villages. Lamp after lamp was lit and the whole village began to shine with the light of knowledge.
But one thing that was still very confusing was what would happen to the children who are innocent and have no guilt. After all, why are they sinking into the mire of slavery?
On the one hand, the tyrants and the danger to their lives and on the other hand, the innocent children and their future were visible. Finally, my sister and I suggested that we should start a school for children, in order to make it happen.
Well, by the grace of God, we sold some household items and some necessities and started school, then took a loan from a bank and made benches for the children so that the children could sit comfortably.
2 shamans were arranged and classes were started under them in the courtyard. As education continued to grow, so did the number of children.
Talking to the owners of the kilns, it would be your great pleasure to allow these children to get an education as a matter of humanity.
In the beginning everyone forbade it and then when the Holy Spirit worked, their hearts were hurt and they themselves said that educate the children, we are with you.
12; 77; started the school on arch 2012 and which is still going on.
On 12; 77; arch 2014, by the grace of God; 667570; was met and books, uniforms, stationery were arranged for all these children and delivered to them.
In 2015, the situation suddenly changed and began to get worse. My sister and I had an accident that caused very serious injuries. One of my sister Saima’s legs cracked in two places and it took 8 to 10 months for her to recover and I had back pain and severe head injury due to excessive bleeding. I was very weak and even though I was healthy I stayed in bed for six months and then the Lord raised me up. When he recovered, a man attacked his younger brother and tried to kill him, but by the grace of God, my brother recovered after six months in the hospital. Shortly afterwards, some opponents set fire to my factory. Which burned all the raw materials and I lost business. I have not given up. I have promised myself that I will continue to do God’s work as long as there is life in my body. Many times it occurred to me to give up, but then the spirit of God would strengthen and say that you have chosen for this. In travel education
