@ShafeeqGigyani Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I'd love to see and touch it someday.

[Nishat Riaz MBE @nishatriaz]

@ameenasaiyid Thank you. I can't even begin to imagine the stories these letterboxes have held over centuries.

[Nishat Riaz MBE @nishatriaz]

I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with letter boxes. Maybe it’s the stories they quietly hold.

Here is one that survived a World War, crossed an ocean and somehow ended up in Pakistan.

I want to Imagine the stories it could tell.
Will these old boxes still be around in 20 years? Or will we only be sending digital pings and emojis?
Do you have a photo of a letterbox?

Wherever you are, snap a letter box and reply. Let’s build a little global collection of these wonderfully ordinary things with extraordinary stories.

All I need is some time to read.
Here's my pick for the days ahead.

[Nishat Riaz MBE @nishatriaz]

Legislative oversight and strong leadership are vital to building an education system that is inclusive, equitable and leaves no girl behind.

Thank you, Imran Nadeem Shigri sahib, Speaker @gb_assembly , for visiting us and for your reassuring commitment to advancing girls’ education across Gilgit-Baltistan.
GB is near and dear to my heart, for all the right reasons. I look forward to seeing this commitment turn into meaningful action and positive, lasting change for girls across the region.

Here’s to turning promises into progress, and giving every girl in GB the opportunity to rise, learn and thrive.

@amnazamirtalks On your way 😄

[Nishat Riaz MBE @nishatriaz]

@amnazamirtalks Huge congratulations to brilliant Anaya. Mashallah. And all the best for everything she wants to do next

[Nishat Riaz MBE @nishatriaz]

Culture and art are not decoration to policy change, they are drivers of it. This partnership belongs to the movement, not just to two organisations.
When we pair the moral force of Faiz's words with the urgency of girls' education, we create something neither of us could achieve alone.
When girls succeed, the world succeeds.

[Malala Fund @MalalaFund]

Getting all girls in school in Pakistan requires both the policy expertise to make the case to decision-makers and the cultural reach to mobilise the public.

Last month, @MalalaFundPK and @faizfoundation announced a partnership to advance girls’ education — drawing on Malala Fund's advocacy experience and the civic influence, cultural credibility and literary legacy of Faiz Ahmed Faiz, one of Pakistan’s most celebrated poets.

Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing there's a field. I will meet you there. Rumi
May we have the ability and capacity to rise above and beyond truths of our own.

[Nishat Riaz MBE @nishatriaz]

There are moments when I am reminded of something basic & real. Thinking of starting a thread about these reflections.
Here's the first:
Grief &failure as well as happiness & victory become source of gratitude if we are not consumed by any. شکر in low & صبر in high moments.

[Nishat Riaz MBE @nishatriaz]

When we start to believe, hope comes in. Hope fuels faith, faith inspires action, and action transforms lives.
Belief plants the seed, hope helps it grow, and perseverance brings it to life.
